Positive progress? Skills for the future of financial services 2025

Our Future Skills Report 2025 highlights the skills the financial services industry needs to position itself for future success, while fuelling sustainable growth. The report presents robust, data-driven research and showcases the latest skills trends, based on analysis collected from member firms and the wider industry. Our findings demonstrate that firms are taking concerted action on the skills challenge and, pleasingly, those efforts are beginning to pay off.

We’re encouraged to see the excellent progress being made to put skills at the heart of business strategy, adopt a skills-based approach and take purposeful action to close skills gaps. By doing so, organisations will be better placed to adapt to the changing demands of the modern economy.
