Excellent work from the St. Louise’s Comprehensive College group at our Understanding Work and Money day.

Our volunteers shared their work journeys from part time work as teenagers, through self employment, to their current roles at L&G. They also answered questions about salary, payslips, deductions, pensions, costs and benefits of work, and gave tips and tricks for CVs and interviews.

Huge thanks to the Innovation Factory, Belfast for hosting the sessions!

Excellent work everyone!

What a busy time we had at our Understanding Money and Work day!

The girls from St. Dominic's Grammar School Belfast worked hard and put our volunteers to the test with lots of questions about the costs and benefits of work, investing in workplace pensions, identify transferable skills to include in a CV, and prepping for interviews.

Huge thanks to our volunteers and to the Innovation Factory, Belfast for hosting!
