Introduction to Financial Resilience for Retail Workers

The Australian Retailers Association is proud to partner with Afterpay to deliver a comprehensive, free financial literacy education program designed specifically for Australian retail workers, as part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the fashion and retail industry.
The program consists of four different independently designed courses, aiming to address the education gap in financial literacy experienced by retail workers, which include a high proportion of millennials and Gen Z.
