MANILA, Philippines — The Civil Service Commission (CSC) on Saturday revealed that latest training programs for government workers will now include financial education. ADVERTISEMENTThe commission’s partnership with the agencies aims to integrate financial education in government training programs, initially within CSC’s own learning and development programs, and then in other government agencies. “Financial education is crucial in building the financial skills of our government workers,” CSC Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala said in a statement. The BSP will be testing its modules and tools for key CSC trainors to conduct financial education seminars and workshops for CSC and other government employees nationwide. Such topics covered include financial planning, saving, budgeting, debt management, investments, financial scam prevention, and consumer protection, among others.
