Skills for Financial Services

The UK’s financial services sector is the engine room of the national economy, but its continued growth depends on a workforce that can navigate a landscape of rapid digital innovation and shifting global regulations. The discussion will explore the specific skills policies and initiatives required to unlock the sector's full potential—from the role of modular learning and degree apprenticeships in closing the fintech gap, to how providers are realigning curricula with the Government’s modern Industrial Strategy.

Speakers:

• Dr Jelena Janjusevic, Global Deputy Head of Accountancy, Economics and Finance, Edinburgh Business School (Heriot-Watt University Dubai)

• Abigail Sorrell, Head of Financial Services Curriculum, Kaplan
