Former Factory Worker Launches Financial Education Project for Workers: “Economic Freedom Is Not Just for Graduates”

September 5, 2025 - Emmanuel Onofaro, founder of the financial education project Obiettivo Riscatto Milionario, has announced the expansion of his free mentorship program dedicated to factory workers, retirees, and low-income earners, after reaching more than 1,800 participants in the first 18 months.

The initiative, born from Onofaro’s personal experience as a factory worker, aims to democratize access to financial education through a practical and accessible approach, removing the technical jargon that often distances working-class people from investing.

From the lathe to mentoring: a story of resilience

Onofaro left the factory after what he calls “the turning point”: seeing older colleagues resigned to a life of routine without prospects. “That wasn’t the future I wanted for myself,” he recalls from the office he set up above the bar where he had once worked as a waiter.

His transition was not immediate. After several failed attempts and bad investments that cost him his first savings, Onofaro developed a systematic method for managing capital, which he now shares for free through evening webinars and a large community.

A different approach to financial education

“Most finance courses are designed for those who already have significant capital,” explains Onofaro. “I speak the language of those who wake up at 5 a.m. to clock in at work.”

The program includes:

  • Free evening webinars three times a week
  • One-on-one mentorship for more complex cases
  • A support group with over 1,800 active members
  • Simplified educational materials without technical jargon

Tangible results and social impact

According to platform data, 73% of participants reported improving their financial situation within the first 90 days, with particularly strong results among retirees earning less than €1,000 per month.

Mario Carbone, a 67-year-old retiree from Padua, testifies: “For the first time I understood how to make my small savings grow without relying on the bank. Emmanuel’s simple language made all the difference.”

The “Give First” model

Onofaro sustains his project through what he calls the “Give First model”: offering free education while supporting himself through private consulting. “I don’t want to become just another guru selling €2,000 courses,” he says firmly. “My mission is to prove that financial freedom is not reserved for those born privileged. If I did it, starting from zero and without a degree, anyone can.”

Next steps By 2026, Onofaro plans to:

  • Expand the program nationwide
  • Launch a mobile app to make the content even more accessible
  • Publish a simplified book on financial education

The role of martial arts in financial discipline

A practitioner of MMA and kickboxing, Onofaro credits much of his success to the discipline learned in the ring. “Martial arts taught me that every defeat is a lesson. The same is true for investing: what matters is getting back up and learning.”

His most meaningful tattoo represents his motto: “Lupus non timet cane latratem” (“The wolf does not fear the barking dog”), symbolizing his determination to pursue his goals despite criticism.
