Empower Employers and Employees with Free State of Wisconsin Consumer Protection Resources

The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), in partnership with the Department of Financial Institutions and the Governor’s Council on Financial Literacy and Capability, has launched new Consumer Protection Outreach Toolkits designed to help Wisconsin organizations educate their teams and communities about important consumer protection topics.

These free, ready-to-use digital toolkits include downloadable presenter guides, PowerPoint materials, shareable infographics, sample newsletter articles, posters, and even fun educational activities like word scrambles and crosswords. They can easily be incorporated into employee newsletters, training sessions, staff meetings, or workplace learning programs.

The toolkits currently cover four key topics:

• Common Scams and Fraud
• Identity Theft
• Safe Online Shopping
• Consumer Protection for Young Adults

You can explore and download all the materials today at DATCPOutreachToolkit.wi.gov.

By sharing these resources with employers and their employees, you can help them strengthen their financial and digital literacy, stay alert to scams, and make informed consumer decisions — both at work and at home.

For more information, or to request a live presentation from DATCP’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, visit ConsumerProtection.wi.gov or call the Consumer Protection Hotline at (800) 422-7128.
