Great Eastern to open 200 trainee positions

The insurer will also continue its management programme for university graduates.

Great Eastern will offer up to 200 traineeship positions for up to 12 months to graduates from the Institute of Technical Education, polytechnics, universities and other private institutions, according to a news release.

Trainees will be allowed to develop skills and industry experience under one of three tracks, namely digital and technology, business, or corporate and governance. Support will be given through structured on-the-job training, virtual coaching, and comprehensive e-learning programmes.

The insurer will also continue its corporate management associate programme to grant university graduates the pathway to accelerate their careers.

In addition, Great Eastern has opened its workforce for up to 1,000 people. Come June, the insurer will launch The Lifeproof Academy to offer complimentary financial planning and self-improvement lessons as well as mentorship to those interested in pursuing financial planning as a career.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
