Money Matters Programme

Once students leave the security of school whether it be for University, College or to enter the Workplace for the first time one thing is certain, they will have to learn the importance of finance!
For some they will have access to real money that they have earned themselves for the first time in their lives. Others will have to plan and budget how they are going to survive the financial perils of student loans at university.

“How do I get the money to have a good time and study?”
“Can I really afford the repayments on that new car?”
“Why did that new outfit cost me twice the price it said in the shop when I used their store card?”

World of Enterprise has developed “Money Matters” to ensure students are given the opportunity to understand more about the world of personal finance, and awaken them to the fact that where there’s money there’s responsibility.

The Money Matters Half Day programme is upbeat, informative, practical and enjoyable, delivering real life situations allowing students to make decisions for themselves, or suffer the consequences of their mistakes.
