CAPITAL MARKETS LAB
The mission of the Capital Markets Lab is to promote the importance of financial education and to spread financial literacy awareness throughout the South Florida community. Recognizing the implications financial literacy has on our economy and society, our team strives to educate, not just FIU students, but also our local community. As a research facility dedicated to academic excellence, we aim to prepare students for today’s competitive job market. This involves researching innovative ways to effectively integrate contemporary financial strategies with classroom discussion. By merging conceptual basics with a “hands-on” approach, we seek to enhance student learning while encouraging creativity and innovation in financial decision making.
2) For each capability describe the type of company that may use it and the types of job positions that require the use of that technology. Try to think outside of the box and consider companies not only in Miami but across the world.
