A dedicated study and reference centre for insurance and
financial services workers in Glasgow is the first of its type in
the UK.
Located in the Mitchell Library, the Study and Reference Centre
has been opened by the Insurance and Actuarial Society of Glasgow
(IASG), the local branch of the Chartered Insurance Institute
(CII). The centre was officially opened by Trevor Matthews, CII
President.
The Centre will support employees in the insurance and personal
finance sector in Glasgow and further afield to study for
professional qualifications.
The centre provides members with CII course books and study
reference materials, free Wi-Fi and internet, a fully stocked
lending library and a café bar area.
Lesley McFarlane, IASG President commented: "We are very excited
by our relationship with the Mitchell Library which will improve
the accessibility of learning support for those working within the
insurance and financial services industries. The project will help
propel the IASG into the 21st Century and become a valuable
resource not only for Glasgow, but also the rest of Scotland."
The Centre has been supported by Culture and Sport Glasgow, as
well as Glasgow City Council and Scottish Enterprise, the two
public sector partners behind Glasgow's IFSD.
