There are multiple efforts within the Labour Movement to reach out to engage more members, as well as, to recruit new members.
Along these efforts was the seminar themed - “Learning The Essential Money Skills For Financial Freedom”, held on 5 March 2013 at NTUC Centre.
United Workers of Electronics & Electrical Industries (UWEEI) had jointly organised this learning event with Adam Khoo Learning Technologies Group (AKLTG), the U Associate partner of NTUC. This was the first learning event that NTUC Membership Department (MED) supported in helping unions reach out to their members.
This initiative will help union members enhance and develop their personal and professional development skills.
Many members, especially from UWEEI’s Engineering Professional Community (EPC), attended the workshop and took home useful financial tips such as generating passive income by investing in real estate investment trusts and the various strategies for selecting winning stocks with high profit potential.
Shared Mr William Soh Kee Ann, an engineer with Seagate Technologies Private Limited, 48, who was one of the participants at the seminar: “The seminar was definitely very informative. It was a plus that it was conducted in a lively manner. I actually picked up useful information on smarter ways to invest my money and ma certainly looking forward to more of such seminars.”
Mr Soh was accompanied by his colleagues, who are also union members at the session.
“Beyond just discussing about financial freedom, the speaker also encouraged positive thinking towards managing finances, which was something that I appreciated,” added Mr Poh Peng Wan, Mr Soh’s colleague, 49, also an engineer.
Like Mr Soh, he too expressed interest in attending similar workshops organised by NTUC.
For unions who are interested in arranging this session for their members, please contact Han Ying at 6213 8003 or hanying@ntuc.org.sg.
