Recently, Jennifer Wallace, our Senior Director of Finance Transformation in North America, visited Britt Elementary School in Snellville, Georgia, to participate in Career Day. During her visit, she shared insights into finance and imparted valuable life skills to an eager group of 10- to 11-year-olds.
With her extensive experience in finance and business, Jennifer connected with the students, igniting their curiosity about what the future could hold for them.
During her session, Jennifer discussed the importance of adaptability and continuous learning in today's dynamic job market. She drew from her journey and emphasized that embracing change can lead to fulfilling career paths.
Jennifer also recognized the importance of financial literacy and took the time to educate the students on practical aspects of finance, such as managing bills and investing asking questions like, “What do you spend your money on?” and “Do you spend it all at once?” Her initiative to equip young students with essential money management skills is important, given many schools in North America do not have the resources to address the topic of financial education.
As a representative of Impellam Group, Jennifer embodies our commitment to making a positive difference in the communities we serve.
"The kids LOVED the Impellam dollars. I left them with the classrooms for the teachers to incorporate into future maths lessons. A few teachers asked to download the financial literacy link on my last slide to teach their kids. That was a cool feeling" - Jennifer Walace.
Investing in the next generation shapes young minds and lays the foundation for a brighter, more empowered future.
