  10. Financial sector’s educational needs • Ususally people do not see the financial sector as a growth area • In Denmark, the amount of money spent on financial products has doubled over the last 10 years. • This has accelerated a need both from customers and the regulative bodies for better qualified employees. • The education department accommodates the financial sectors educational needs, both by developing their own training courses and by coordinating educational courses for employees in collaboration with a number of business schools. • The number of university academics has quadrupled from 1991 to 2006: from 1,500 to 6,000. (The larger banks substitute trainees with financial economists) • We work with strategic partners as well as other educational provides to develop and implement courses of the highest quality and relevance. Reasons: • More complicated customers • General increase in wealth leading to more demand for advanced advice • Ambition to change the sector from homogenous to heterogenous. • Many banks face a shortage of labour due to a larger number of retirements and a lack of young, qualified people. • The path can also lead to employment beyond the Danish borders.
