COMMUNITY EDUCATION

The CCCO Education Department provides quality education to all segments of the community. Professionally qualified speakers have been fulfilling educational requests from area organizations, businesses, schools, and churches regarding consumer credit issues.

In today’s society, everyone needs to understand budgeting, the wise use of credit, balancing a checkbook, credit reports, credit scoring, money management, savings and the latest information about identity theft. We would be happy to talk with you about an interactive workshop for your church, school, civic organization or community agency. We also facilitate workshops for companies and their employers.
