Academy of Real Commerce holiday camp
Description
Young people are not properly taught about money and how it works in the real world. Call it financial literacy or call it a real life common sense day talking about saving, spending, investing, trading and-- because people need it --a close look at the risks of gambling. We talk about property, shares, crypto, and more. Our seminars are run by people with proper life experience. Our class includes a lunchtime tour of the Sydney University campus.
Our content is optimised for later years of high school or people recently out of school.
