Helping students build financial and career skills that will better prepare them for the real world.
Intuit is committed to providing the education and training that prepares students for a prosperous tomorrow. Developing personal finance, entrepreneurial finance, and durable skills are crucial for a successful future and will help them be prepared to address life’s challenges. We also have specific training programs to support educators in their ongoing efforts to teach these critical topics in their curriculum and beyond.
Our job readiness work focuses on two areas: personal finance and entrepreneurial skills.
While the number of states with a mandate for students to take a personal finance course has been increasing, the fact is the majority of students today will graduate without knowing how to save, budget, or manage credit, just as they are about to start making serious financial decisions that will impact their future. For over 40 years, Intuit has been focused on helping our customers achieve financial confidence. We’re now leveraging that experience, and our technology, to create a comprehensive program to help students become the first financially literate generation. Intuit for Education includes courses in both personal and entrepreneurial finance, as well as multiple programs to support teacher confidence and implementation. With a bold goal to have over 50M students engage with Intuit for Education resources by 2030, we’re on a mission to help the next generation prosper.
As we continue to prepare students for their future after graduation, we aim to empower the young entrepreneurs who hope to blaze their own trail as entrepreneurs. With an Intuit for Education course specifically for entrepreneurial finance, we aim to empower students with knowledge they need to overcome common challenges of starting their own business or side hustle. We also support the development of career skills such as critical thinking and collaboration through unique design thinking courses, resources, challenges, and certification.
Intuit believes that every student should have the opportunity to prosper, regardless of the ZIP code they live in. Young people in disadvantaged communities don’t have equal opportunities to develop the skills and access the tools they’ll need to succeed in the job market of tomorrow. Through our Prosperity Hub School District program, we aim to support educators teaching finance topics, and help students develop confidence as they apply these skills in the real world upon graduation. The program offers Intuit’s entrepreneurial and educational content to school districts that are most in need, all for free. Our work within these school districts gives students and teachers access to programs that develop durable skills that employers seek.
Intuit launched a program to build and deliver fully functioning food trucks with a commercial-grade kitchen to select school districts. The trucks operate like an internship on wheels, enabling high schoolers to gain real-world experience by learning and applying the finance skills needed to run a business. We also provide resource materials to support the food truck program as a Career and Technical Education Culinary Arts simulated workplace model, including lessons on running a sustainable business.

Through Intuit’s donation of a $200,000 commercial food truck and providing curriculum to teach business and accounting skills, we’re able to partner with the Compton School District to help students be more prepared for their future jobs.
Financial education has the potential to improve the lives of millions of high school students by giving them the skills they need to make informed decisions. Yet according to Intuit’s Financial Education survey, most high school students today rely on their parents for any financial knowledge.
Intuit is on a mission to help 50 million students become financially literate, capable, and confident by 2030. Read more on how we’re working toward building the first financially savvy generation.
