Financial literacy
For Jockeys
FINANCIAL LITERACY COURSE FOR JOCKEYS
The Irish Injured Jockeys, in partnership with equuip, have developed a Financial Literacy Course for Jockeys. The course is bespoke to industry and will help guide jockeys on their financial matters.
The Financial Literacy course is divided into three stages with different modules. Each stage must be completed before you can progress to the next stage.
Stage One: Online Course
- An online platform with videos talking you through best practice in managing your finances.
- Covering the basics of finance, budgeting and financial advice.
Stage Two: Workshops with Gateway Consulting
- An in-person workshop with Gateway Financial Consultants was held on Tuesday, November 15th at Fairyhouse Racecourse. The workshop lasted two hours and was fully funded by the IIJ and equuip. Our next workshop is for Flat jockeys, online via zoom on the 13th December at 3pm. (Scroll down to register)
