The OECD measures and reports on the level of student attainment in the subject of Financial Literacy across most of the 34 OECD countries. Within America, many States have made it compulsory for high school students to study some classes on Financial Literacy.

This has created a demand for Teachers with skills to teach subject of Financial Literacy. InWork seeks to deliver Financial Literacy education,to increase the participation rate and use of Financial Services. InWork seeks to teach people about the benefits of using Financial Products and the potential risks of over paying or being mis-sold products which are not suited to their needs.

An estimated 75 Million young people worldwide are unemployed. The European Commission, the world Bank and the OECD all say more should be done to teach Entrepreneurship to students at school. But many schools lack the teachers with skills to teach Entrepreneurship and Business Skills.

College graduates may have a degree in a specific niche area, but when they commence work, they find their role requires them to have business skills. InWork can help both school students and college graduates to learn a range of Business Skills required in the workplace.

By learning Entrepreneurship and Business Skills, students can gain vital life skills which can help them succeed in gaining employment or help them create their own job by starting their own business.
