Standard Chartered Singapore to allot $5m to upskill staff

It will offer close to 350 trainee roles.

Standard Chartered will invest $5m to boost employee redevelopment and upskilling in Singapore, according to a news release.

The bank will provide close to 350 traineeship and career opportunities and will participate in the SGUnited Traineeships Programme, SkillsFuture Work-Study Programme and the Finance Associate Management Scheme for the benefit of young bankers and senior leaders.

It will also amplify its SkillsFuture@SC programme to upskill employees over the next three years. Training is customised based on employees’ interests, stages of their careers and industry transformation needs. The bank has also recently enhanced its interactive ‘diSCover’ learning platform for employees to access modules such as blockchain, AI, and personal development.

Singapore remains one of Standard Chartered’s key franchises and is a key beneficiary of its $2.2b (US$1.6b) three-year investment.

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.
