Search USA.GOV for Educational Materials

A county agent requested for some educational materials on Credit:

Do you know of any factsheets or PowerPoints in Spanish that focus specifically on credit? I’m going to ******** on Wednesday and they requested information about credit. Let me know, thanks!

FDIC.GOV has some good materials in Spanish on credit issues but the materials have to be shipped. The FDIC resources that I have would not meet the agent’s request the materials need to be shipped and would not make in three days. I could not find anything on FDIC site to be downloaded. FTC.GOV also has good resources in Spanish, but no training materials in Spanish were available.

The BEST TOOL that I found was http://www.usa.gov/gobiernousa/index.shtml, obtained by clicking “Espanol” on USA.GOV.

 

Click “Espanol”

On the www.usa.gov/gobiernousa site, search for the educational materials you are looking for. In my case, I searched for “Credit Card powerpoint”, which produced resourceful results:

Searching “Credit Card Powerpoint” in USA.GOV’s Spanish Site

From my highly limited Spanish, the fifth content out of NY.GOV looks like what the agent wanted. Of course, more specific searches with Spanish words would be very helpful.

Hi **********,

 I saw you mentioned this in the latest EFCS newsletter. I just wanted to let you know that the one you recommended (“5^th PowerPoint on www.hesc.ny.gov”) was exactly what the participants were looking for. It was called Entendiendo y Usando el Crédito.  Thanks so much for your help!
