EMPIXO Professional
Training & Workshops
Financial Education People Can Actually Use.
We’ve spent years translating financial concepts into conversations that make sense in the real world, built from delivering training in prisons, tenancy programmes, colleges and community organisations, not written from a textbook.
Workshop Topics
EMPIXO Can Work With Organisations On
Practical financial education and capability workshops around topics including:
Money Fundamentals
Cash flow, spending, saving, debt and building strong financial foundations.
Financial Resilience
Preparing for financial shocks, understanding risk and creating greater financial stability.
Debt & Financial Hardship
Understanding debt, recognising financial pressure and knowing where to start when things become difficult.
Renting & Housing
Understanding household costs, preparing for a tenancy and building greater housing stability.
First-Home Readiness
Understanding the financial pathway toward becoming ready for home ownership.
KiwiSaver & Investing Fundamentals
Building knowledge around long-term saving, investing, risk, diversification and compounding.
Financially Match Fit
Helping people become better prepared for life’s financial decisions and unexpected events.
Programmes can be tailored to the people you’re trying to reach, not forced into the same presentation. Different audience. Different needs. Same objective: greater financial capability.
How It’s Packaged
Three Ways to Work With Us
Every organisation’s needs are different, so every quote is built around what you’re actually trying to achieve. Here’s the general shape training and workshops can take:
Format 1
Single Workshop
One focused session on a specific topic, for a specific group. A good starting point for testing whether financial education is a fit for your people.
Best for: one team, one topic, one occasion.
Format 2
Workshop Series
Several sessions delivered across weeks or a term, building financial capability progressively rather than covering everything at once.
Best for: schools, colleges, structured cohorts.
Format 3
Ongoing Training Partnership
A recurring arrangement combining workshops, resources and follow-up support, built around your calendar rather than delivered as a one-off.
Best for: organisations wanting financial education embedded long-term.
Pricing depends on group size, session length, format and location, so every quote is custom. Tell us what you’re planning and we’ll put together a proposal.
Where This Comes From
Training Delivered on the Ground
Ready to Rent: Ministry of Social Development
For around four years, Brett regularly facilitated Ready to Rent workshops, covering household costs, budgeting for rent, tenant responsibilities and the confidence needed to secure and maintain stable housing.
Life-Skills Training: Department of Corrections
Delivered practical financial capability and life-skills training within Linton Prison: banking, budgeting, debt and preparing for housing, as part of building the foundations needed for life beyond release.
Student Financial Mentoring: UCOL
Helped students navigate rent, food, transport, study costs and debt, removing financial barriers so students could stay focused on their education and complete their NZQA qualifications.
Schools & Colleges Across the Manawatū
Financial education delivered to young people, including during Brett’s time with Westpac New Zealand: interest, debt, credit, KiwiSaver, investing and how decisions made young can shape choices decades later.
