HAK Oberpullendorf starts a new focus: financial competence for the future

The HAK/HAS Oberpullendorf recently launched a new focus of training that revolves around the topic of “financial and risk management”. These initiatives aim to expand the financial knowledge of the students. This program was developed by the Bank division and insurance company to convey a better understanding of economic relationships for young people.

The “Firi” program goes beyond mere theory: It not only teaches the students the basics in financial and risk management, but also offers insights into specific topics of banking and insurance. In this way, the participants should learn how to make well -founded financial decisions in their future professional life. The practical content includes the creation of budgets and the evaluation of properties.

Incoming advice from experts

"Financial competence is indispensable today. It enables young people to make clever decisions regarding loans, investments and insurance companies," emphasizes Alexander Kubin, the chairman of the bank and insurance division. In practice, the training includes experts from banks and insurance companies; These work directly with the teachers to convey current and practical content to the students.

At the end of the training program, the participants receive a certificate that officially documented their newly learned skills. This training is essentially free, but there is a small contribution of 30 euros, which can be partially funded. The exams take place partly at school, partly with the Chamber of Commerce, which further increases practical relevance.

a step into the future

Sonja Hasler, the director of the HAK Oberpullendorf, emphasizes the relevance of this initiative: "At a time when information is omnipresent, financial education becomes an indispensable component of general education. Our students benefit enormously from a practical and understandable introduction to the world of finances."

With the focus "Firi", the HAK Oberpullendorf positions itself as a pioneer in the training of future specialists who learn to master the challenges in the economy of tomorrow.
