Empowering West Virginia’s Workforce
Monday August 3, 2026 11:00am - 11:45am EDT
This session provides a clear and practical overview of the Jumpstart Savings Program, a financial tool designed to support young West Virginians, established tradespersons, and entrepreneurs. Attendees will learn how the program allows participants to make tax‑advantaged contributions to a Jumpstart Savings account and use those funds for career‑building expenses such as tools, equipment, supplies, certifications, or business start‑up needs. The session will highlight who is eligible, what costs qualify, and how the program helps reduce financial barriers for individuals entering, maintaining, or growing their careers or businesses. Participants will leave with a strong understanding of how the Jumpstart Savings Program can help strengthen financial foundations and support long‑term professional success.
