It integrates use of personal mobile devices to engage reluctant learners to innovate delivery of financial capability for adults of all ages: in stand- alone sessions, as a course, for self-directed learning or integrated within another relevant course.

Resources include:

a financial literacy curriculum for adults;
financial literacy resources for teachers;
free Managing Money App

The App complements the Managing Money curriculum and takes an action-based approach to learning, simulating situations where people need to practice their personal financial management, while the Managing Money curriculum develops the skills they need to help them plan their finances in response to financial challenges.
