As a sample, 50 fourth year students, 50 second year students, and 50 third year students, were selected through stratified sampling. Both primary data and secondary data were used for this study and questionnaire was used to collect primary data. A one-way ANOVA was conducted to analyze the data collected and the results showed that there was a difference in the financial literacy of students who had gone to industrial training compared to the level of financial literacy of second and third year students. Consider the second and third year students, it could be recognized that there is no significant difference in the financial literacy of the students in those two years. Therefore, according to this research, it is clear that the students’ financial literacy has increased through the experience and knowledge they get through the industrial training.
