Make financial language more understandable for the insertion companies in the greater region of Montreal.
Following a tripartite agreement between the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), the Collectif des Entreprises d'insertion du Québec and JA Quebec, 25 integration companies in the Greater Montreal region were able to benefit from an educational and informative brochure entitled "Managing Your Money". The brochure was developed especially for people facing particular difficulties onto the labour market, with the objective of fighting poverty and exclusion.
The purpose of this project was not only to stimulate conversation on basic economic and financial concepts, answering questions such as how to manage a budget, how to use a credit card, why save money, and learn about the insurance, but also to make financial language more understandable for this clientele.
We would like to thank the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) for its valuable support in this project.
We are looking forward to seeing you again!
