The Toronto Service Alliance is extremely motivated and satisfied upon the news that the Ontario government will invest $4 million to create a Centre of Excellence for Education in Financial Services. More than 210,000 people are directly employed by financial services
companies in the Toronto region, and many more business professionals – in
accounting, law and information & communications technology – are employed to
support the sector. Toronto is the third largest financial services centre in
North America, and continues to attract international financial institutions
to establish operations here. The investment will further enhance the Toronto financial cluster as it will be used to generate and promote the quality of its financial services workforce; in international rankings Toronto is highly regarded has being part of the world’s elite financial cities.

The Centre of Excellence will focus on attracting and developing the best young talent available .
