STARTUP SHERPAS
Financial services report: teenagers define the future of finance
How might banks become the guardians of our world?
This is the question we asked 100 teenagers from Leeds City College who took part in our Startup Sherpas paid work experience programme.
The Social Impact our 2023 Report Creates:
‘Trickle up economics’ is what we call our alternative to trickle down economics.
We pay students to work on the report. This allows us to entice a diverse set of students, not just the hand raisers.
Some students spend their money on birthday presents for friends, others spend their money to help their families. What they don’t do, is store it tax efficiently. That’s why we believe in trickle up economics.
Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not. And it starts with work experience. By giving a diverse set of teenagers their first work experience and a reference, we help them through the first hoop.
These are the 21st century skills that our students need to develop in order to thrive in the world they inherit.
We teach them how to bring their ideas to life and share them with others.
Our Squad Leaders on this Time Machine report were both female. Rokeebat’s story is shared in detail in the report and shows how multiple interactions with Startup Sherpas develops gender diverse talent.
25% of our teenagers discover their own entrepreneurial spirit by taking part in the Time Machine SuperSquad, one of the programs they can partake in.
We get a 5x increase in the students desire to explore their own startups when they take part.
