Electus Global Education Co, Inc.
We’re a start-up on a mission to launch a million happy futures, through impactful innovation. Our ed-tech super app aims to democratize success through financial capability, entrepreneurship and career readiness education to underserved communities, globally.
The educational landscape has long been criticized for its lack of preparation for real-world challenges, particularly in critical areas such as financial literacy and entrepreneurship. Despite mounting evidence of the growing importance of these skills in today’s economy, traditional education systems remain focused on academic achievements that often do not translate into practical abilities for managing finances or understanding business dynamics. This oversight is more than an educational gap—it's a societal issue. Young individuals are entering adulthood without the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of personal finance, investment decisions, or the entrepreneurial acumen required to innovate and drive economic growth.
Moreover, the absence of these essential skills contributes to broader economic problems, including poor personal debt management and a lack of entrepreneurial ventures, which are crucial for job creation and economic vitality. In an age where financial crises are frequent and the entrepreneurial landscape is rapidly evolving, there is an urgent need for an educational model that integrates real-life financial management and business skills into the foundational stages of learning.
The long-term lack of financial literacy and entrepreneurial skills leads to problematic outcomes for communities and families. Communities suffer from increased crime rates as financial instability can drive individuals towards illegal activities. Families face heightened stress and instability, resulting in poor mental and physical health outcomes. Additionally, inadequate financial management and lack of entrepreneurial ventures limit access to quality healthcare due to insufficient financial resources, thereby increasing mortality rates. These negative outcomes underscore the urgent need to incorporate comprehensive financial education early in the learning journey to foster more resilient and economically stable communities.
Electus rises to address these educational deficiencies through its revolutionary platform, Life Hub, which seamlessly blends financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and career readiness into a cohesive learning model tailored for children aged 6-18. Life Hub harnesses the latest advancements in AI and machine learning to create highly personalized learning experiences that adapt to individual learning paces and styles, ensuring that each student can thrive. Unlike traditional financial education platforms that focus narrowly on savings and budgeting, Electus offers a comprehensive curriculum that covers a wide spectrum of financial interactions, from earning and investing to spending and giving, all integrated within an engaging educational experience.
The platform’s hands-on approach is designed to transcend theoretical knowledge, allowing students to participate in real-world financial activities and simulated business environments, which helps to cement their understanding of complex concepts through practical application. This experiential learning is further enhanced by the platform's integration capabilities, making it a versatile educational tool suitable for diverse learning settings—from conventional classrooms to innovative micro-schools and home-school environments, as well as rehabilitation programs within juvenile justice systems.
Furthermore, Electus is committed to continuously updating and refining its content and methodologies to keep pace with global financial trends and technological advancements, ensuring that the education it provides remains relevant and forward-thinking. This commitment extends to adapting the platform to different cultural and educational standards across global markets, illustrating the scalability and flexibility of the Life Hub solution. By providing a foundational platform that not only educates but also engages young learners in meaningful ways, Electus is setting a new standard for what educational success looks like in the 21st century, preparing a generation of informed, confident, and capable individuals ready to lead happy and successful lives.
As a social enterprise, our mission is to improve the quality of life through our ground-breaking education and financial technology called Life Hub.
Join our team of passionate individuals who are improving the quality of life of children under 18 nationwide daily.

Do you want to gain professional writing skills and have your named work viewed by thousands? Do you have a passion for great literature or fine art or classical or contemporary music or history or archaeology or something else in the humanities? Do you love to learn about other cultures, their cuisine, customs and language? Do you want to join a vibrant community of writers? Then write for us!
The Cultural Me helps our subscribers learn about the arts and culture the same way they would learn a new language. We are a tech company and are developing artificial intelligence-assisted learning.
We are looking for writers to research and write micro-articles (roughly 300–350 words) on selected subjects, for example, a piece on Tolstoy, or Early Renaissance to Contemporary Art, or Latin American magic realism to Postcolonial Literature, or Sri Lankan culture, or Beethoven, or Film... You will also be involved in editing contributions from other writers.
If you have never written professionally before, then don't worry: all we ask for is a Bachelor’s Degree in the Arts and Humanities. We are also happy to consider you if you have alternative qualifications — provided you can demonstrate specialist subject matter knowledge in one or more areas in the arts and culture (and you love reading). The articles we produce (unlike popular media) are to the best academic standards. The ideal person, therefore, should enjoy writing articles that are well-researched yet written in an accessible format suitable for the public at large.
Here is what you can expect from us in return for your voluntary work:
- Detailed and friendly, one-to-one editorial feedback on almost every line you write.
- How to write for a busy mainstream reader: developing a story.
- A language and style guide reflecting modern trends in mainstream media.
- The chance to develop a deeper understanding of the arts, history, philosophy...
- Publication of your work to a global audience on a fast-growing platform.
- A link to your writing portfolio to include in your CV.
- A chance to join our diverse community of writers in our active chat space with the option to contribute to our growing social feed on the Cultural Me website.
In addition, if you provide The Cultural Me as a reference for a potential job, we will provide a personalised reference based on your portfolio. Our writers have secured jobs with organisations such as the Red Cross, Kobalt Music, Oxford University Museums, amongst others.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone with a passion for the arts and culture to join a community on a worthy mission. If you love the idea, then please email Emma by clicking on ‘Apply’ and writing a short cover letter explaining what you like about the role.
COMMENTS FROM OUR WRITERS
Claire Woods — MA Creative Writing, Open University
‘The editors have a keen eye for detail, and I’m learning so much already!’
Florence Gildea — MPhil Sociology, University of Cambridge
‘The level of support, the attention to detail and the encouragement I experienced while writing for The Cultural Me was absolutely unprecedented in all my years of writing. Editing is an underappreciated skill these days, as people are keen to publish content as quickly as possible. It is a testament to the commitment of the Editors at The Cultural Me for producing resources of the highest quality that they put so much time and effort into working with writers like me. I felt both stretched and valued.’
Zoe Willis — BA French and German, University of Bristol
‘Working on The Cultural Me micro-articles really made me interrogate what I was writing, making sure the subject was absolutely clear for those reading it. At university, you are never told to examine each sentence as to how it fits in with your argument.’

‘Writing for The Cultural Me has allowed me to continue practising my analytical reading from university, and given me the opportunity to share my thoughts on the literature I know and love.’
