The Financial, Professional & Business Support Services Sector offers significant opportunity for growth over the next decade - as many as 60,000 more jobs by 2010.

To take advantage of this opportunity and be competitive, businesses will need to reflect the multi-ethnic composition in their workforce, service provision and products by 'Gaining Significant Competitive Advantage Through Diversity'

Why? Because by 2010 there will be a increase from 25% to 34% of the regions labour pool from people with ethnic minority backgrounds, and the majority of students aged 16 - 24 years will be non white.

What is more significant, is that businesses will find their client base is changing and demanding that businesses who provide goods and services do everything possible to meet their need.
