The attendance was good and the participants showed great enthusiasm throughout the training.They were highly interactive, actively participating in the group discussions and sharing personal financial experiences which made the session both engaging and relatable. The session proved to be fruitful. Many participants expressed that the information provided on the topics covered was eye-opening and relevant to their current financial situations especially those approaching retirement. After the session, several participants personally approached me to express their gratitude, highlighting how the training had given them valuable insights and motivation to manage their finances better.
