As part of the ongoing Pensions Awareness Week campaign, the NAPSA Staff Pension Scheme team held an interactive engagement session with students from the School of Business Management at Texila American University Zambia (TAUZ). The session, held at the university’s Lilayi campus, aimed to equip students with vital knowledge about the importance of saving, pensions, and annuities.
The discussion provided students with valuable insights into how pension schemes work, the benefits of early saving, and the role of annuities in securing a financially stable future after retirement. The session also highlighted the broader significance of social security in national development and encouraged students to take a proactive role in planning their financial futures.
Speaking during the session, representatives from the NAPSA Staff Pension Scheme emphasized the need for young professionals to develop a saving culture early in their careers. They also explained the structure and benefits of contributory pension schemes and how students can start preparing for retirement even before entering the workforce.
The engagement was part of NAPSA’s broader strategy to raise awareness and promote financial literacy among young people, especially those pursuing business and finance-related programs.
TAUZ students expressed appreciation for the session, noting that it complemented their academic knowledge with practical financial planning skills.
TAUZ remains committed to providing students with not only academic excellence but also the life skills necessary to thrive in today’s economic landscape. The university continues to welcome partnerships that enhance student development and expose learners to real-world financial concepts and practices.
