Close to 50 people have completed their non-formal financial management course at the Northern Marianas College.<\/p>\n
The college’s Home Economics Department is holding money-management lessons to espouse family savings, according to a preliminary copy of its report for 1998.<\/p>\n
Led by Kathy Pohl and Floria James, the department works closely with the Division of Youth Services and help shelters, which refer participants to the course.<\/p>\n
An arrangement has been finalized with DYS to allow for access to its wards so that they might learn the rudiments of counseling, housekeeping and cooking by taking the course.<\/p>\n
The report says participants from Tinian have learned to repair torn but reusable clothes, and this has helped them to realize some savings.<\/p>\n
The department has received letters from participants who informed that they had made serious consideration of going into sewing business, the report adds.<\/p>\n
Participants from Rota, who were trained to make ornaments, also had shown promise of being able to go on commercial venture, it says.<\/p>\n
The Home Economics Department began in 1987 under federal funding.<\/p>\n
Up to 30 people have so far completed a non-formal parenting course in which participants were trained to dispense counsel on family relations to those from varied ethnic backgrounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
