BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – A second round of Information Sessions are planned for the “BACK TO WORK 50+: Women’s Economic Stability Initiative,” which will help women age 50 and older find jobs in Brevard County and build the financial capability to make sound decisions that reduce debt, rebuild savings and pave the way to greater financial stability.
