Build financial wellbeing for young employees and apprentices
As many young people face the financial challenges of rising living costs, it’s important to ensure they have the skills to manage their money well. Whether you're hiring apprentices or looking to strengthen the financial resilience of your young workforce, we’re here to support you.
Helping young employees build money skills
Young people are more likely to develop important money management skills when they can apply what they learn, such as when they start a new job and receive their first payslip.
Employers can play a key role in this by supporting their young employees, trainees, and apprentices with access to money management programmes or resources.
Doing so not only boosts your employees' financial wellbeing but also helps create a resilient workforce and reduces the impact of money-related stress on your business.
Support for your young employees and your business
We've gathered a range of programmes and resources aimed at supporting young people as they begin their careers.
Whether they prefer self-paced learning or guided sessions, free materials or more comprehensive programmes, there’s something here to help your young employees build a strong foundation for their financial future.
All these options are provided by accredited organisations or have been evaluated for quality.
