The University of Guyana is pleased to announce the return of its financial fulfilment initiative Money Week 2025. This annual series which was interrupted by the COVID-19 conditions is a dynamic mix of engaging and informative activities from films to discussions and workshops. This year it will be held from Tuesday, June 3rd to Thursday, June 5th, 2025, from 10 am to 5 pm daily at the University of Guyana’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 is open to the general 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 organizations 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 homegrown application which links job seekers with employment
opportunities. Everyone is urged to take advantage of this enriching experience.
The final schedule of events will be published on the University of Guyana’s main website, all of the University of Guyana’s social platforms by the close of business on Tuesday, May 27th, 2025. We eagerly anticipate your participation and look forward to welcoming you to Money Week 2025.
