This programme is aimed at senior students in Scotland about to leave school.  The purpose is to prepare them to take control of their own finances while at University, College or at Work.  Information is also given on Savings and Pensions.

 

The programme is delivered by a team of experienced Financial Education Officers located throughout Scotland. 

 

In the 2008/09 academic session work was undertaken in 193 Scottish secondary schools.  There is no charge for the team’s work and the whole programme has the support of L.T. Scotland's Scottish Centre for Financial Education.

Topics Covered over 3 sessions are:

Debt:

How we get into it.

How we can avoid it.

 

Budgeting:

How to draw up a budget.

How to keep track of spending.

 

Savings, Pensions and Investments:  The need to start Saving and Pension Plans early in one’s working life and explain the terminology and types of investments available.  (Note: No actual products or services are recommended as we are managed under the Scottish Community Foundation. Charity No. SCO 22910)
