- 4.20pm Setting Your Super up for Success4.20pm- 4.50pmSpeakers: Michelle Kelada
Your superannuation could become the second largest asset that you will have, and the earlier that you engage with it, the better the outcome could be. As Field Officers, you have a great influence on trainees and apprentices that you work with at the start of their career, you could also have an influence on what their retirement might look like at the end of their career.
This session will look at the key essentials of super that you should make trainees and apprentices aware of as they start their life of employment, or as a business owner. What you learn could also help you to set your super up for success. - 4.50pm AEN Update4.50pm- 5.50pmSpeakers: Gary Workman
