South West
City of Bristol College is the Lead Provider for the Academy in the region and will bring to bear their significant resource and wealth of experience to help ensure the success of our mission.
In addition we are working with Cirencester College who already has a strong track record of meeting the needs of employers in our sector and Cornwall College who sees becoming part of the Academy as a development opportunity to further meet the needs of their local employers and learners.
As the Bournemouth and Poole area of Dorset is so important a cluster of Financial Services (FS) activity we will also be ensuring full coverage in this sub-region. It is expected that other providers will join this network to meet specific needs.
We are actively engaged with the LSC, South West Regional Development Agency and other major partners. Through them we are helping to push the needs and profile of the Financial Services sector up the regional agenda.
