Training social workers to help needy families manage finances

A new Financial Capability and Asset Building curriculum is being developed by the Next Age Institute (NAI) at NUS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. It has been used in the US and NAI will work in collaboration with the Washington University in St Louis to adapt it to Singapore, where there has been no formal training in this area. The curriculum will be piloted with NUS social work undergraduates and about 100 social workers next year.
