Our purpose
Anticipating the financial sector’s needs
Transformations in the financial and insurance sector are reshaping occupations, sought-after skills and workforce needs. The Talent workstream monitors these changes to better anticipate the industry’s needs.
Through studies, sector profiles and consultations with financial sector stakeholders and the education community, it analyzes gaps between available and sought-after skills, identifies training needs and makes recommendations to support the industry as it adapts to current and future transformations.
Developing skills
The Talent workstream partners with educational institutions and other organizations to bring industry needs and available training closer together.
It helps shape training pathways and develops initiatives that enable professionals, students and organizations to build the skills they will need to adapt to the sector’s transformation. This approach fosters concrete bridges between educational institutions and the job market.
Attracting and preparing the next generation
Developing talent in finance and insurance means raising awareness of the sector, the diversity of its occupations and its career prospects, in order to attract a next generation with a wide range of profiles.
To that end, the Talent workstream leads awareness, mentoring and exchange initiatives with students and young professionals to spark their interest in the sector, broaden the labour pool and prepare the next generation for the jobs of tomorrow.
Québec has significant strengths for attracting and developing talent: a diversified financial ecosystem, renowned institutions, a strong higher-education network and a next generation with a wide range of profiles. By acting on the sector’s attractiveness, skills development and the alignment between talent and industry needs, Finance Montréal’s Talent workstream helps prepare the workforce that will transform the finance of tomorrow.
