Commenting on the partnership, George Higginson, Managing Director Northern Ireland and UK Strategic Partnerships, Bank of Ireland UK said:
“Equipping young people with the skills they need to make informed financial choices is vitally important. By making financial literacy accessible from early years, we can help young people build the confidence and knowledge they need, helping to adopt good financial habits that help them now and into adulthood.
“We are delighted to continue our support for Young Enterprise Northern Ireland and to support the ambition that every young person has access to financial and enterprise education.
“Recognising that financial wellbeing is important at all stages of life, we have developed a series of free financial literacy resources which are available to parents, community groups and employers covering a range of different topics.
Carol Fitzsimons, MBE, Chief Executive Officer of Young Enterprise Northern Ireland, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Bank of Ireland as our newest ESG Business Backer. Their support will be instrumental in helping us equip young people with the skills and knowledge they need to become impactful business leaders. With the help of Bank of Ireland these young entrepreneurs will be well-positioned to contribute to a more prosperous future for Northern Ireland.”
