All the information you'll need for your DE experience
Training Overview

Overview
While most training focuses on the “what” and “how” of credit union service and operations, DE focuses on the “why”.
Learning objectives include the credit union difference, financial well-being for all, and empathy and emotional intelligence in banking.

Class format
DE uses presentations, interactive activities and collaborative group work.
To earn your CUDE designation, you must complete a final case study exploring why and how credit unions can prioritize financial well-being for all.
All participants are asked to leave their titles at the door to create a level playing field.
