• Money 101

  In 2009, Safety & Wellbeing asked you about your general health and wellbeing. One of the areas flagged in your responses was financial wellbeing.

  For the third year running, the Safety & Wellbeing team are pleased to provide an online personal financial education program for everyone at UTS. Money 101 is independent of any bank, super fund or financial institution and builds programs designed to help you take control and plan for a safe and secure financial future. Money 101 is available to everyone at UTS and the current program consists of an eBook that contains information on over 14 different financial topics, including Spending and Saving, Dealing with Budgeting Issues and Problems, Super Basics, and Transition to Retirement. Coupled with this is the Work/Life Management module that helps you to learn how to balance work, finances, family, body, mind, values and beliefs, social activities and professional development.

  The program can be accessed from UTS or at home. To access from UTS, just visit Money 101.
