New Jersey’s Future Females in Finance Initiative Aims to Introduce High School Girls to Finance Careers
JERSEY CITY, N.J. | New Jersey City University (NJCU) and The National Organization of Investment Professionals (NOIP) have announced a partnership with The New Jersey Council for Economic Education at NJCU (NJCEE) for the introduction of New Jersey's Future Females in Finance, an initiative of NJCEE’s Invest in Girls.
The program will introduce high school girls to a variety of careers in finance through hands-on activities facilitated by industry professionals. By the end of the program, students will be able to reflect on their skills and gauge their interest in specific careers in the financial service industry. These Future Females in Finance will connect with current professionals who will become a part of their network as they move onto college and beyond.
Executive Director of NJCEE at New Jersey City University, Joe DiFiglia, shared his optimism for the partnership.
"NOIP’s commitment of financial resources and professional volunteers will have a profound impact on the lives of the high school girls we serve.”
NOIP Vice-Chair Kate Faraday commented, "As an organization, we believe that it is critically important to give back to the community to help educate and mentor students on all matters related to financial literacy and education. We look forward to our partnership."
