The Invest in Yourself: Exploring Money and Self-Employment program focuses on strengthening the financial literacy of Aboriginal Youth (12-24 years old) and helping them understand how they can use their unique skillsets in innovative ways to create meaningful employment—which may include creating a ‘side business’, exploring self-employment, discovering entrepreneurial pathways and innovative problem solving, or building confidence to undertake remote working opportunities.
