Use our simulation game to engage with local business. Why not invite the employees of a local firm of accountants or stockbrokers, or managing directors from several firms, to play our games alongside you? It is a great way for your students to network with local companies.
Links with local businesses will give students the chance to apply their knowledge and develop their skills through one to one contact time in college and work placements.

"Trading Floor allowed my pupils to experience proper team working, they learned how to focus for a sustained period, and they saw how Maths can be relevant and real."
Catherine Irvine, Maths Teacher, Edinburgh Steiner School
The Global Investor simulations are superb. The program works for all ages at secondary and all ability levels and the pupils are completely engrossed in the experience. It teaches all pupils about the way the world of finance works in a fun and easily accessible way.

"Dealing Room served as a great opportunity to reinforce many mathematical terms and concepts. Students developed an understanding of the knowledge and skills relating to a particular industry sector, with its direct relevance to the world of work."

“We use Dealing Room and Finance Lab in our first year BA Accounting & Finance course to help develop students' academic and employability skills, in particular communication, teamwork and numeracy. Student feedback has demonstrated that the simulations make an invaluable contribution to their self-development.”
