Student Connections Winter Relaunch!

Submitted by nsscadmin on Tue, 02/02/2021 - 09:00

A new year means a new semester. New classes. New students. New teachers. And with that comes new opportunities.

Throughout the fall term in 2020, staff from the Nova Scotia Securities Commission virtually visited several universities, colleges and high schools in Nova Scotia to deliver presentations on informed investing. This included presentations for students from NSCC Ivany Campus, Saint Mary's University, Mount Saint Vincent University, Dartmouth High School, C.P. Allen High School, and Prince Andrew High School. With the winter term underway we’re ready to hit the virtual highway to talk to more students and youth.

We know due to COVID-19 the 2020-21 school year looks very different. Many universities in the province are taking their classes online. The Commission has adapted to these changes to continue to reach students. Since March 2020 we have delivered all of our Student Connections presentations online and will continue to do so until it is safe to meet in-person again. If you are interested in having the Commission talk to your class but are not allowed visitors, or you do not have a physical classroom right now, we can connect virtually, and look forward to discussing the best way to make this possible.

Students exiting post-secondary education are entering a new phase in their life with careers, money and a future ahead of them. This future could include a family, their first home, cars, and saving for their children’s education and their own retirement. As life becomes real the need to invest also becomes real. But, why do they need to wait to learn about investing? Why can’t a basis of basic investment knowledge be gained before it is time to use it instead of catching up on it later in life?

NSSC aims to deliver this basic investing knowledge by connecting NSSC Investor Education with Nova Scotia’s many post-secondary institutions and high schools. If you’re a student or teacher in a NS university, college, or high school, and are interested in having NSSC talk to your class or group contact us.
