About
At the Battle Creek Central High School Career Academies, we strive to provide students with exploratory learning experiences that prepare them for college, career, and community readiness. An in-school credit union would be a valuable additional exploratory learning experience. Students would have the opportunity to gain real-life knowledge to aid in the development of soft skills such as customer service and time management.
Furthermore, an in-school credit union would be a key resource in providing financial literacy instruction to BCPS students, families, and staff. Gaining financial literacy in a hands-on learning environment will better prepare students to make important financial choices, and participate fully in our economy and our financial system as they enter adulthood. This capability will contribute to their long-term financial well-being and the overall economic strength of our community.
We envision this partnership as a collaborative effort. Battle Creek Public Schools will provide the necessary space, recruit and manage student workers, and integrate financial education into our curriculum. In turn, we request the in-school credit union partner’s support as will be outlined in the cost proposal area to ensure the successful launch and operation of the credit union.
