April is Financial Literacy Month, and it’s a good reminder that financial skills are life skills. That’s why we partnered with The College Board and launched AP Career Kickstart courses like AP Business with Personal Finance to connect what students learn in school to the real decisions they’ll face in their careers: budgeting, credit, saving, and how business works. Hiring managers are saying this matters: 84% say most high school graduates aren’t ready for work, and 96% say financial literacy is essential for young professionals. Educators and school leaders can help close that gap with coursework that builds practical, workplace-relevant skills and confidence.
