The 'Beyond Schools' program reflects Link Wealth's commitment to inspiring future generations of financial advisers while enhancing the financial well-being of young Australians. Structured as an interactive workshop, the program has already reached more than 300 students, covering vital topics such as budgeting, superannuation, debt management, investments, and savings.
Josh Lee, Director of Link Wealth and the program's driving force, emphasized the importance of proactive engagement with the youth. He stressed that the adviser shortage is a pressing issue that requires immediate attention, highlighting that financial advising is more than just a job; it's a professional journey that significantly impacts others' lives.
The workshops offer many students their first comprehensive insight into financial management. Lee hopes participants leave not only with increased confidence in handling their finances but also with a newfound appreciation for the pivotal role of financial advice as a career path that can create meaningful change.
Lee's personal journey served as an inspiration for the program, underscoring that discovering a fulfilling career in finance does not require a linear path. His message to students is clear: understanding personal finance takes time, and financial advice is as much about improving lives as it is about numbers.
Link Wealth plans to expand the 'Beyond Schools' program to more educational institutions across Australia in the coming year, solidifying its commitment to fostering a financially literate youth equipped to face future financial challenges.
