Offering simulation of real-world scenarios where students use the Lab to simulate financial scenarios, such as portfolio management, trading, and risk analysis, giving them practical exposure to industry processes. This real-world application bridges the gap between academic theory and professional practice and experience with these terminals signals to employers that graduates are industry-ready and familiar with the platforms used daily by top-tier firms.
