UG Money Week returns June 3-5

…strong focus on tech, investing, innovation

The University of Guyana (UG) on Sunday announced the return of its financial fulfilment initiative, Money Week. The annual series, which was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, is a dynamic mix of engaging and informative activities from films to discussions and workshops.
Money Week 2025 will be held from Tuesday, June 3 to Thursday, June 5, from 10:00h to 17:00h (10 am to 5 pm) daily at the UG’s Turkeyen Campus.
Since its inception in 2017, Money Week has been dedicated to empowering students, faculty, alumni, and the wider public, particularly young people, with essential knowledge and skills in financial literacy.
The event is face to face, free of charge and open to the public.
Under the theme: “Building Your Prosperity: Dollar by Dollar,” the goal is to support the path to prosperity for anyone willing to learn and work towards their success. Money Week orients attendees on important aspects of money management, highlighting new and emerging trends, showcasing exciting opportunities, introducing practical tools through workshops and iconic industry leadership conversations, and providing access to free, valuable training sessions.
This year, Money Week promises to be exceptionally insightful, with a strong focus on technology, investing, and innovations such as crypto currency.
The University is excited to host key forums led by distinguished organisations including the Guyana Stock Exchange and the Jamaica Stock Exchange. Attendees will also benefit from the expertise of local investment brokers, prominent local banks, One Communications, Action Coach Guyana, Her Venture and the dynamic and upcoming local company Wallet Wisdom, among others.
Furthermore, the event will feature interactive conversations with inspiring local business icons, offering unique perspectives and practical advice for entrepreneurs.
Money Week is a free in-person only event and open to all members of the public. It represents a fantastic opportunity to learn, network, and gain a deeper understanding of the evolving financial landscape.
Participants will also have an opportunity to access “UG Recruit”, the University’s home-grown application that links job seekers with employment.
