Maybank Singapore unveils certified course to upskill employees

The course tackles data analytics, design thinking and cybersecurity.

Maybank Singapore has developed a certified course in partnership with Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) designed to enhance the capabilities of its workforce as part of its $10m FutureReady digital upskilling programme. The proprietary curriculum is accredited by the Institute of Banking and Finance Singapore (IBF).

The customised ten-day Maybank FutureReady Certification Course will be held at NYP where over 300 Maybank Singapore employees are set to complete the course in batches over two years. The courses tackle key areas like data analytics, design thinking and cybersecurity.

The first intake of Maybank employees began their lessons in late March, and will take weekly lessons over 10 weeks to complete the course, receiving certification for their newly-honed skills in end May.

“We provide them time off work to immerse themselves in a classroom setting to pick up new skills in using data to help in decision making, human-centred design, cybersecurity and agile methodologies,” Dr John Lee, country CEO and CEO of Maybank Singapore said in a statement. “Employees who are at the forefront of digital transformation may look to switch or expand their roles within Maybank through this programme and by leveraging the Professional Conversion Programme.”

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
