Intuit for Education is a free financial education program, consisting of over 230 hours of customizable content, with a goal of helping 50 million students become financially literate, capable, and confident by 2030. The program includes immersive, hands-on tools and resources to help Canadian students build essential money management and entrepreneurship skills to help them better prepare for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To kick off the expansion of the program, Intuit for Education will bring its Financial Literacy Forum event series to Toronto, inviting hundreds of local high school students and educators for a day of interactive learning by engaging with real-world financial and business simulations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intuit for Education is designed to address one of society\u2019s most urgent and persistent challenges: the financial literacy gap that limits opportunities and widens inequality. The expansion comes at a critical time, as research indicates a significant demand for more practical financial education in Canada:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finresilienceinstitute.org\/financial-vulnerability\/june-2025-financial-resilience-index-model-release-highlights-continued-financial-vulnerability-with-new-data-on-the-financial-literacy-and-financial-resilience-gap-for-youth\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\">92%<\/a> of Canadians believe that financial literacy education is lacking in high schools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Among Canadians between the ages of 18-24, over two-thirds (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cppinvestments.com\/newsroom\/canadians-remain-anxious-about-retirement-but-planning-and-understanding-the-cpp-can-help-build-confidence\/#:~:text=The%20survey%20also%20found%20that:%20*%20Familiarity,helping%20them%20understand%20money%20and%20retirement%20planning\" target=\"_blank\">68%<\/a>) said they feel \u201ca lot of anxiety\u201d about making the wrong financial decisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While many financial education programs rely on static lessons, Intuit for Education\u2019s approach uniquely leverages Intuit\u2019s trusted financial tools\u2014TurboTax, QuickBooks, Credit Karma, and Mailchimp\u2014to immerse students in real-world simulations that mirror everyday financial decisions. Students don\u2019t just learn about finances, they practice it. Whether filing a mock tax return using TurboTax or managing a business in QuickBooks, students apply knowledge in dynamic, relevant ways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The localized lessons being taught at the Financial Literacy Forum are now accessible in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intuit.com\/solutions\/education\/?cid=ppc_G_e_US_.I4E_US_GGL_Brand_Search._intuit%20for%20education_txt&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=21604109456&amp;gbraid=0AAAAACpgTsOjoZ9mIUeFnmuNvXxz5atYl&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwyYPOBhBxEiwAgpT8P6aXzZLBrQpMWWsmk3tJIgQ7gK3ZqrpYgj0t-PtsN9mYKt6RYq0YMRoCeHcQAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\">Intuit for Education Platform<\/a>, expanding its existing 230-plus-hour curriculum. Each lesson features scenarios, language, and videos tailored to local cultural nuances and legislation, including Canadian tax law, and aligns with the Canadian versions of the TurboTax and QuickBooks products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFinancial literacy is more than just knowledge; it\u2019s about having the capability and confidence to make financial decisions that change the trajectory of your life,\u201d said Dave Zasada, global vice president of education and corporate responsibility at Intuit. \u201cBy bringing Intuit for Education to Canada, we are empowering students to practice making those financial decisions, before they even cross the graduation stage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Financial Literacy Forum Series<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Intuit for Education\u2019s Financial Literacy Forums transform traditional classroom learning into high-energy experiences, connecting students with tech-driven activities to understand financial concepts like taxes and credit. On April 2, the Toronto Financial Literacy Forum will take place at Scotiabank Arena. Students will hear from experts and participate in hands-on interactive breakout sessions such as the \u201cThe Tax Reveal\u201d challenge where students decode how income, deductions, and credits influence a tax refund, using TurboTax software, and the \u201cThe Building Blocks of Business\u201d simulation where students navigate QuickBooks Online to run a business. Additionally, &#8220;The Marketing Campaign Showdown&#8221; will give students the opportunity to act as business marketers and design a winning social media campaign to understand what makes a successful post and how platforms like Mailchimp help businesses generate customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about Intuit for Education, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/intuit.com\/education\" target=\"_blank\">Intuit.com\/education<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intuit for Education will host its first Canadian Financial Literacy Forum at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto Intuit for Education is expanding to Canada, marking the program&#8217;s first international presence outside of the United States.
