The Workforce Advantage
The Toronto region is home to 5.5 million and has a workforce of 3.1 million.
But it isn’t just about numbers – it’s about quality. Our workforce has the highest level of education and internationally recognized professional designations in North America. Over 50% of those working in financial services have a university degree, and more than 75% have a post-secondary certificate or diploma.
Toronto also offers an abundance of the professionals who enrich and support the financial services industry. Our broad and deep talent pool includes engineers, lawyers and accountants, as well as information, communications and technology professionals for businesses to draw on.
“I think the relationship between the financial services industry and educational institutions in Toronto should be an example to everyone. Schools and industry work together to ensure programs produce workplace-ready graduates with best-of-class skills, making Toronto a place where both students and businesses can succeed.”
