Learning Events
MEPP offers a series of workshops geared toward your age and career stage. The workshops will guide you along your path to retirement. As a Plan member, you are welcome to attend any of the four workshops.
While all of the modules for each workshop are designed as standalone sessions, taking the complete set of modules in chronological order for multi-module sessions will offer you the most benefit.
To attend a workshop during working hours, you must obtain approval for your employer. You are responsible for your accommodations, transportation or meals, if applicable.
It's easy to register! Find the workshop you are interested in attending, select the session in the Course Schedule section and complete the registration form.
Note: registrations close 48 hours before each seminar.
