A new financial services program offered by Canadore College in North Bay has been approved by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities for delivery in the fall 2012 semester.
The college recently developed program curriculum in response to an identified training need within the country’s financial sector.
“There is no other program like it delivered in Northern Ontario and the forecasted demand for individuals with these skills is high both in our region and across the country,” said David Himmelman, Dean of Business.
Financial services is a one-year, post-graduate program that will provide students with employable skills and prepare them for a career in the largest industry in Canada. Jobs within the growing financial sector are in high demand. Graduates will earn proficiencies in personal financial management, income tax laws, financial planning, estate planning and retirement.
Four other programs awaiting approval from the ministry include environmental management, indigenous pre-health studies, indigenous preparatory studies and public relations.
