Part of the popular Barron’s in Education series, this financial literacy program brings accomplished professionals in the financial services sector into college classrooms to provide first-hand knowledge on industry careers.

Barron’s continues as one of the major corporate sponsors of financial education for college business majors and the general public. As the director for financial education at Barron’s Group recently noted, this nationwide initiative brings business school students face-to-face with leaders in the types of positions they hope to occupy after graduation. Students learn more about the functions of global markets and obtain up-to-date, detailed news from those in the world of finance.

Additionally, Barron’s offers its publications free of charge to high schools, colleges, and university-level business programs as yet another means of educating the next generation of banking and investment professionals.
