ORLANDO, Fla.– Addition Financial Credit Union has announced a new partnership with Orange Technical College, supporting the school’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs.
“The collaboration deepens Addition Financial’s long relationship with Orange County Public Schools as the school’s preferred credit union and bolsters their commitment to supporting education and fostering community growth,” the credit union said.
As part of this partnership, Addition Financial will support students enrolled in career-focused tracks, including:
- Manufacturing/automotive
- Nursing/healthcare
- Beauty/esthetician programs.
The credit union said it will provide comprehensive financial education workshops designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage their finances effectively as they prepare for high-paying careers.
“We are thrilled to partner with Orange Technical College and support students in their pursuit of technical education,” Richard Barbari, manager of community engagement and partnerships at Addition Financial Credit Union, said in a statement. “Addition Financial has enjoyed a long relationship with Orange County Public Schools over the years, and we are excited to build from that foundation and continue to invest in the future workforce of our community.
Addition Financial said it will support students across all seven OTC campuses and offer financial education workshops that will cover topics from budgeting to credit management, providing students with a strong foundation for financial success.
The support from the credit union extends to the School District Debit Card Program, in which Addition Financial will now donate three cents from every transaction on the signature Orange Technical College debit cards back to CTE programs in the district.
