Welcome to the Maryland Financial Skills multimedia website! As part of a grant from Maryland Higher Education Commission BRAC Initiative, this online resource was developed to demonstrate how personal financial matters impact an individual’s ability to become employed or promoted within the Base Realignment and Closure, often referred to as BRAC. Read more about the importance of this in a 7/14/10 Baltimore Sun article. Did you know? Your credit history affects your ability to get security clearance and a job.
Important facts like this are highlighted in the BRAC Spotlight (to the right) to help you become aware of how your personal finances relate to BRAC and why BRAC cares about your personal finances. There is also information about free Maryland resources available (to the right and Resources page) to assist individuals with matters such as budgeting, debt counseling, auto insurance, and identity theft. In videos like the one below and in the Video Library (accessed through YouTube), Maryland experts offer financial tips, the type of free services Maryland resources provide and who to call if you need assistance.
