Innovate Finance launches FinTech For Schools initiative

Innovate Finance, the UK's independent industry body for FinTech, has launched its FinTech for Schools initiative. The focus for this is inspiring the next generation of FinTech leaders and developing the ambitions of young people in terms of innovation in financial services.

The FinTech for Schools campaign is designed to encourage young people to understand the increasing importance of digital skills in the workplace, with an emphasis on ensuring the sector is as appealing to girls as it is to boys. It has been shown that by 10 years old, children already have a strong sense of identity of what they can and cannot do. Inspiring young girls, by providing them with a wide variety of role models from diverse backgrounds and skill sets, is a vital first step in creating a new model to deliver real change in terms of diversity.

FinTech is a fast growing sector and so it is increasingly important to approach students to provide them with the education and guidance which will help them to make the right decisions which will enable them to enter the industry.
