Our Seminars are designed to educate your employees.
We offer a full range of engaging seminars that provide employees with valuable information about their federal benefits, supplemental insurance, and financial planning. A cornerstone of federal employment are the benefits offered; but while these benefits are literally worth millions of dollars, they are confusing and often mis-understood. FedAdvantage has you covered by offering two styles of seminars.
Comprehensive Series
Our comprehensive series delivers in-depth benefits training, and provides core federal benefits with key financial and retirement planning training. Each program is packed with over 200 pages of information and can be customized to meet your specific needs and time restrictions. These programs are available in both half-day or full-day formats.
“Focus-On” Series
Our "focus-on" series offers educational training in a more concise approach. Each topic specific seminar runs approximately 1 to 1 ½ hours, making these programs perfect for lunch and learns, webinars and conference breakout sessions. Our “Focus On” seminars are divided into two separate categories: Federal Benefit Related and General Financial Education.
Mini-Series
These mini series provides 30-minute presentations that deliver key information on specific topics, complete with colorful, interactive workbooks, perfect for employees' tight schedules. They condense the essence of our comprehensive benefits and financial education programs into brief, engaging sessions. Ideal for lunchtime learning or conference breakouts, these seminars focus on either Federal Benefits or General Financial Education.
