Those who are interested in a career that combines working with money and working with people, Saskatchewan Polytechnic's Business financial services specialty diploma is a great choice. Financial services is more than banking - it's loans, mortgages, investment products, financial planning, money management, insurance, risk management and more. With so many services and an aging workforce, it's also an industry with exceptional potential for career growth.
Students will develop specialized knowledge and skills in agricultural lending and residential mortgages, bank systems and practices, financial products and services, loans and credit, personal financial planning, tax fundamentals and more.
Practical exercises and hands-on activities gives students a chance to apply what they learn. A unique seminar course in the final semester gives students a chance to integrate theory and practice in a simulated retail banking environment. It's a chance to polish skills before entering the workforce.
Saskatchewan Polytechnic works with the Canadian Securities Institute (CSI) to ensure students are meeting actual marketplace needs. As part of course requirements, students must register with the CSI and purchase specified textbooks that will be used for Saskatchewan Polytechnic's Canadian Securities Course preparation classes. Saskatchewan Polytechnic will guide students through their CSI registration process and textbook purchase.
Graduating with a financial services specialty diploma qualifies students to apply for advanced standing into degree programs at the University of Regina's Paul J. Hill School of Business, Royal Roads University, University of Lethbridge or online degree programs at Athabasca University. Graduates of this specialty may also receive transfer credits towards the Certified in Management designation through the Canadian Institute of Management and the Certified Logistics Professional designation through the Canadian Institute of Traffic and Transportation.
Graduates are prepared to work as management trainees in the financial market (financial institutions). These include chartered banks, investment firms, credit unions, trust companies and insurance companies.
