Presentation
Every apprentice learns how to use the tools of his or her trade. But there hasn't been an easy way to teach apprentices how to build a solid financial future until now. Financial Tools for the Trades (FTT) is a financial education program tailored to apprenticeship. Port Jobs has created a series of tools for apprenticeship programs and their apprentices, including:
Financial Tools Workshop
This two-hour workshop gives new apprentices an overview of how to meet the potential financial challenges of working in the trades. Apprentices learn how to:
- Be prepared for the first year of apprenticeship,
- Manage their money using spending plans,
- Be in control of their credit, and
- Recognize the true cost of using credit.

 Survival Guide
This popular do-it-yourself manual covers the same topic areas as the Financial Tools workshop and adds information on saving and investing. The Survival Guide can accompany the workshop or be provided to apprentices as a stand alone piece. Download a trial copy of the Survival Guide here (1.4 MB pdf). Guides can also be purchased from Port Jobs - visit the website to order now.
Financial Tools for Apprenticeship Programs
This guide is for apprenticeship programs that want to teach Financial Tools for the Trades in their classrooms. It provides an overview of FTT's teaching tools, including the Financial Tools workshop and Survival Guide, and ideas for creating a Financial Tools program.
