CAMBRIDGE CREDIT EDUCATES COLLEGE SENIORS ABOUT LIFE AFTER GRADUATION

Financial literacy seminar at Western New England College to focus on making the right financial choices after graduation.

Agawam, MA - Thursday, February 28, 2008 - On Saturday, March 1, 2008, Cambridge Credit Counseling Corp. will once again participate in Western New England College’s “Life After College Explained” seminar series. For the last several years, representatives from Cambridge’s Education Department have helped to educate students about the proper management of credit and the steps to building wealth.

When it comes to credit, college students are among the most vulnerable consumers. From the moment they set foot on campus, they are the focus of intense marketing efforts, particularly on the part of the major credit card banks. This is despite the fact that students rarely have meaningful full-time employment during their college years. Over the past few years in particular, rising levels of student loan and credit card debt have combined to place a unique burden on graduates. Many are entering the workforce with large monthly debt payments that not only prevent them from giving full attention to their career, but that will continue to hinder them as they pursue the American Dream of homeownership.

The seminar series at Western New England College is a cooperative effort to help graduates deal with the financial demands that will be made on them as they begin to live independently. Christopher Viale, president of Cambridge Credit Counseling Corp., is looking forward to the opportunity. “We are honored that WNEC has invited us to help prepare their seniors,” Viale noted. “The forward thinking approach of the university is exactly what will help to prepare our youth for the financial challenges that await them after graduation.”

The one-hour seminar will focus on credit scores, the cost of credit, and the importance of establishing an appropriate budget to meet financial goals. Each seminar participant will also receive a copy of Cambridge’s Learn Now or Pay Later financial literacy guide for young adults.

Other area colleges interested in establishing a seminar for their graduating seniors are encouraged to call Thomas Fox, Cambridge’s Community Outreach Coordinator, at 413-241-2362.
