Financial Literacy Week (April 2024)

Outreach, Transition and Economic Development (OTED) co-hosted a four-day, in-person event with USAA Education Foundation—Financial Literacy Week, April 9-12, 2024. The event was to help Veterans, service members, spouses, family members, caregivers and survivors learn about Veteran financial benefits, resources, local jobs and discover benefits for spouses. The event’s objective was to help promote positive economic outcomes and overall well-being for this community.

Outreach, Transition and Economic Development (OTED) established Economic Development Initiatives (EDIs) in July 2018 to provide disadvantaged Veterans and transitioning service members with opportunities to achieve economic success and total well-being as they advance from military service to civilian life. OTED knows that economic well-being for the Veteran community requires collaboration amongst stakeholders from across the Veteran ecosystem to improve individual access to opportunities as well as long-term economic sustainability. The overarching goal of the EDIs is to create a comprehensive and strategic approach to policy, programs and services to encourage community-wide economic development.
