Education Programmes

Since its launch in 2008, the Junior Trader annual Stock Market challenge has engaged hundreds of budding traders, providing the foundations for successful careers in financial services.

Our programme delivers a fast-paced, hands-on introduction to investment and City career pathways, led by experienced professionals. Through a short lecture series and a simulated trading competition, students gain real-world insight and develop key skills in teamwork, analysis, and decision-making.

Its addictive and competitive!

Partner Institutions

Junior Trader offers a structured, curriculum-enhancing financial education experience, helping schools and universities fill a gap often left by standard programmes. It connects students directly with professionals, offering a rare “behind-the-scenes” look at the workings of the financial world, while improving diversity and accessibility in the city.

Speaker and Judge opportunities

As JT grows, we require more inspirational speakers to go into schools and deliver our programme alongside telling your own story. This is your opportunity to tackle diversity, give back to your old school, and inspire the next generation.
