Today I taught a cpr class at a college in the city. It was a specialized class, where the students will graduate with an associates in electricity and be certified linemen.
I found it interesting that part of this 18 month M-F 7-3 class was devoted to retirement.
The students I had were 19-25 years of age. During this class they are encouraged to get their job with an electric company and stay with it. Part of the class was covering 401K, retirement, employee stock purchase programs, benifits--they spend about a week on such. They they go back to learning how to climb poles, running wire, working and setting up substations and such. The instructor had this set in January, during the winter when the weather is normally bad (normally they work in an outside classroom)
Often you see people, especially younger ones jump from company to company. This program actually explained what you may gain and may loose from frequent job changes.
I thought this was rather interesting it was covered in class with so much time devoted to it.
