Our Mission and Mandate
The Centre of Excellence in Financial Services Education will be the catalyst that strengthens and expands our talent pool to elevate Toronto region’s global stature as a financial services capital.
Using research, cross-sector collaboration and marketing, the Centre of Excellence will:
- Aggregate research and information on Toronto’s talent and educational strengths for the benefit of educators, employers and students/graduates
- Work with employers and educators to improve the focus and quality of education programs
- Encourage a cross-sector dialogue on talent and education-related issues
- Showcase the region’s strengths and the career opportunities that await in the Toronto region
Made possible through the generous support of:
“When you’re a global company, you have to have the talent to compete internationally. Being headquartered in Toronto means we’re surrounded by people who make that happen for us.
“Toronto is such a diverse city that being here brings the world to us. It also makes it easy to integrate talent from overseas. And we’re in the middle of a unique cluster of first-rate educational and training institutions that stay in touch with the industry’s needs. We can upgrade the skills of the people we have, and train talent quickly and conveniently. Toronto’s advantages in talent and education give us the edge we need.”
