LINKS between the classroom and the boardroom are set to improve as a financial services school moves into new premises on the doorstep of Canary Wharf.

The National Skills Academy for Financial Services officially opens at its new facility in the George Green Building in East India Dock Road today (Thursday, February 21).

The Academy, supported by Canary Wharf firms including Citigroup and HSBC, provides training across a range of financial disciplines for budding Wharf workers from Tower Hamlets. It will be opened by Hector Sants, chief executive of the Financial Services Authority.

Courses have been run at Tower Hamlets College in Poplar for the last 18 months but with £1million
of investment from London Thames Gateway Development Corporation students now have a purpose-designed building in which to work.
