Empowering the next generation
Awareness and education are essential in achieving a successful financial future. Despite this the area is commonly overlooked, especially among younger generations, meaning many school leavers are often left without the requisite knowledge, skills and tools at the start of their adult lives.
Empowering the next generation and supporting them throughout their financial journey ties in closely with our purpose of building a secure and prosperous future for our clients and their loved ones.
By helping the younger generation feel more connected to money, building up their financial knowledge and understanding of the markets, we can play a role in the financial opportunities that support the unique needs of young people, wherever they are in their financial journey.
Our six-week programme is delivered in schools around the country and aimed at those currently studying for their level three qualifications.
