From Textbook Theory to Real-World Ready
EDWiN bridges classroom knowledge and industry competency—students graduate job-ready and financially literate
The Graduate Employability Gap
Students Graduate Without Essential Financial Skills
Despite completing business, economics, or finance degrees, many graduates lack practical financial literacy. They understand portfolio theory but can’t explain ISAs. They’ve studied corporate finance but don’t understand personal tax. Employers consistently report that graduates arrive with theoretical knowledge but limited real-world financial competency.
- 74% of employers say graduates lack practical financial skills
- Students understand academic concepts but struggle with real-world applications
- Financial literacy isn’t systematically taught or assessed in most programmes
- Graduates face major financial decisions without adequate preparation
- Universities struggle to evidence employability skills for accreditation
Assessment Creates Enormous Staff Workload
Creating, administering, and marking financial literacy assessments consumes significant academic time. Multiple-choice questions require careful construction. Essay-based assessments need hours of marking. Maintaining question banks, updating content, and ensuring academic integrity all add to already stretched resources.
Meanwhile, demonstrating learning outcomes for accreditation bodies, tracking student progress, and providing timely feedback require robust systems—often involving expensive proprietary platforms or time-intensive manual processes.
Employability Is Now a Competitive Differentiator
In an increasingly competitive higher education market, graduate employability statistics directly impact rankings, student recruitment, and institutional reputation. Universities need demonstrable evidence of skills development—not just degree classifications, but proof that students graduate with the practical competencies employers demand.
Financial literacy is consistently cited by employers as a key graduate skill gap, yet few institutions have systematic programmes to address it or evidence to prove they’re succeeding.
