With this in mind, the Centre has devoted a program to financial institution management studies. In this program, students obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue careers as financial service officers, retail bank managers, or other managerial positions. By supplementing their studies with other courses from within the School of Business, students can also pursue careers in marketing, human resources, estate and trust administration or financial planning. George Brown is currently working on arrangements to offer industry-specific courses in conjunction with the Institute of Canadian Bankers, a nationally recognized educational institution in the financial services industry. These courses, in conjunction with the solid grounding that you will receive as part of the core credits at the Centre for Financial Services Education, make graduates from this program the most sought after in the industry.
