About Wi$eUp
Wi$eUp is a financial education program designed for Generation X and Y Women. It was developed by the U.S. Department of Labor Women's Bureau in support of the Department of Labor's Strengthening the Family Initiative. The Wi$eUp curriculum was developed by Texas AgriLife Extension Service under contract with the Women's Bureau. The original Wi$eUp website was developed by The University of Texas - Dallas Women's Center under contract with the Women's Bureau and is currently managed by Texas AgriLife Extension Service.
Wi$eUp is offered online, as well as in classroom settings in educational institutions and other organizations in seven of the Women's Bureau regions (regions I, II, IV, VI, VII, VIII, X).
The U.S. Department of Labor Women's Bureau is the only federal agency with a mandate to formulate standards and policies to promote the welfare of wage-earning women, improve their working conditions, increase their efficiency, and advance their opportunities for profitable employment. The Women's Bureau national office is located in Washington, DC with regional offices in ten major cities across the country. Established in 1920, the Women's Bureau is one of the oldest agencies in the U.S. Department of Labor.
