Have you heard from colleagues how much they learned in one of the NIH Training Center’s pre-retirement preparedness workshops? Many participants in our pre-retirement classes express how they wished they had taken such a course earlier in their careers. Take this opportunity now to talk with your supervisor and register soon. The NIHTC offers a one-day workshop for NIH staff who are two to five years into their federal career and are seeking a much richer understanding of their FERS benefits. This workshop, Leveraging FERS Benefits for Early-Career Employees Workshop, covers topics key to the early federal careerist: 

• Understanding the Federal benefits package 
• The 3-tiered retirement plan (FERS, TSP, Social Security) 
• Early understanding of what comprises creditable service 
• Reviewing leave, healthcare, and life insurance benefits  
• Exploring components of wise financial planning 
• Understanding the TSP – funds, allocation, Roth TSP
