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.

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.
