Find plenty of information about these jobs, and all the rest, in Ferguson’s Career Guidance Center.

It offers resources for career goals, education planning, workplace skills, finding apprenticeships and internships, conducting job searches, and much more.

Because October is Financial Planning Month the library has a number of in-person and virtual workshop opportunities to help get your own financial planning on track. Let’s start with the biggest…
Financial Planning Day on Saturday, October 18 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the Central Library.
Don’t miss this opportunity for a free private consultation with a Certified Financial Planner™ on various personal financial issues, including debt management, retirement planning, investment strategies, income taxes, insurance, and estate planning, among many others. In addition to one-on-one consultations, there will be free credit checks and workshops on various financial topics throughout the day.
LA Saves will be tabling at branches throughout the city across the month. They will be here at Arroyo Seco on October 27 from 3 to 5 p.m. Stop by and pledge to begin (or increase) your saving efforts.
Throughout the month there will be virtual workshops streamed to the Library’s YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/losangeleslibrary). These will be educational workshops presented by financial professionals on investor fraud and scams, and budgeting. Check out the online calendar to find out when they are set or swing (virtually) by the YouTube channel to review the recordings.
