More than ever, students and borrowers depend on financial aid offices for the experience and information that can make a difference in repayment. TG supports that connection with the TG Default Prevention Training Program, a training suite designed to hone the default aversion skills of school administrators.

The TG Default Prevention Training Program focuses on the fundamentals of default aversion as well as strategies for fostering an effective default management program. Sessions are modular, short, and supplemented with exercises that help to reinforce learning.

Find out how TG training can enhance your default management initiatives so that you and your borrowers experience benefits today and in years to come.
