Human Resources Division (HRD) - Benefits - Seminars

One of the best ways to learn about your retirement and other benefits is to attend a seminar. There are a variety of mid-career retirement planning, pre-retirement planning and financial planning seminars available from a variety of vendors. All training, of course, must be requested through your supervisory channels.

No cost or low cost:

Many Federal communities have active Federal Executive Boards (FEB) which may provide seminars to their local Federal community. See the FEB in your area for information: http://www.feb.gov/

There are also a number of financial planning web-based learning tools available through AGLEARN (PDF; 151Kb) . There is no cost; however, supervisory approval is required.

The following vendors provide seminars on Federal retirement benefits for a cost. We are including these links as a service to our employees, not as an endorsement of the training.
