Financial services companies and educational institutions in the Toronto region work together in an open and co-operative relationship to ensure that programs and courses produce graduates with the relevant, up-to-date training the industry requires. That’s a huge advantage because it reduces the time and money required for training to bring new employees up to speed.
This collaborative approach is also evident in the strong working relationships between all levels of government and financial services sector participants. Financial services is one of Canada’s most important industries and our governments have recognized it as an important strategic sector for the local, provincial and national economies.
