Endwell, NY – Visions Federal Credit Union is proud to announce two, new in-school financial wellness centers at high schools in New Jersey's Passaic and Morris Counties.

Estas ubicaciones en Manchester Regional High School en Haledon y Jefferson High School son parte de una iniciativa llamada Visions Business Academy. Este programa proporciona a las comunidades escolares programas de educación financiera, apoyo del personal, servicios para miembros y oportunidades de pasantías.

Durante la última década, Visions ha introducido programas similares a las escuelas en tres estados, New Jersey, New York y Pennsylvania. En 2019, Leonia High School fue la primera en New Jersey en adoptar la Visions Business Academy. Manchester y Jefferson son el segundo y el tercero, con otras tres escuelas en funcionamiento para 2024.

"It's great to know that we're filling an important educational need in our communities, not only for the students, but also for teachers and families," says Alex Kuhnen, Visions' Academic Relationship Manager.

Los estudiantes de Manchester y Jefferson mayores de 16 años están invitados a postularse para pasantías con Visions, que proporcionan experiencia laboral, oportunidades de establecer contactos y desarrollo profesional. "As a student who had no experience in the financial field, I am glad that I was willing to apply for the internship," said Tiziana Villavicencio, High School Intern. "It broadened my knowledge and allowed me to practice my marketing skills. I can't wait to do it again in my senior year!"

Los pasantes trabajan como embajadores de cooperativas de crédito y mejoran la educación financiera en sus distritos escolares y cuentan con el apoyo de un director de bienestar financiero en la escuela proporcionado por Visions. A través del centro de bienestar financiero en la escuela, estos equipos pueden facilitar la apertura de nuevas cuentas, derivaciones y otros servicios para los miembros de Visions.

Los estudiantes también reciben acceso gratuito a muchas oportunidades de desarrollo profesional que se ofrecen a los empleados de Visions, como herramientas de aprendizaje electrónico, observación del trabajo y una biblioteca de aprendizaje.

"Having Visions in Leonia High School has been a wonderful experience for students," said Jean O'Neil, who teaches business at Leonia. "They learn real world situations and skills by either working at the branch, playing games, or listening to professional speakers."

Beyond financial literacy and internships, the Visions' academic partnership provides the school communities with online resources, special events, and the Visions Loves Educators initiative. Los educadores pueden calificar y solicitar bonificaciones exclusivas, un programa de borrado de préstamos para estudiantes y premios para Educadores del Año.

O'Neil said, "Visions has also been very generous with their time and donations." With volunteer efforts, sponsorships, and grants, Visions often supports school clubs, organizations, and projects, and through their Project Education grant, they've pledged a total of $1 million to the New Jersey Education Association by 2030.

According to Villavicencio, "Every high school should have their own branch!"

Las solicitudes de pasantías de escuela secundaria se publicarán por Internet, con enlaces disponibles en visionsfcu.org/internships. Puede encontrar más información sobre el programa Visions Loves Educators en visionsloveseducators.com.
