OCBC to hire more than 3,000 people this year

It will be a mix of full-time and intern roles for fresh graduates.

OCBC Group has committed to hiring more than 3,000 people in Singapore this year after a pledge that it will not lay off any of its 30,000 employees worldwide, according to an announcement.

More than 2,100 will be full-time roles across various OCBC entities and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which will represent about 19% of its current workforce in Singapore. OCBC will also hire more technology-related roles on top of reskilling and upskilling the digital capabilities of its current employees.

The firm will continue to hire fresh graduates through the OCBC Graduate Talent Programme and the Great Eastern Corporate Management Associate Programme.

The remaining 900 roles will be a combination of traineeship and internship positions. OCBC will offer more than 500 trainee positions to university and polytechnic graduates under the SGUnited Traineeships Programme in areas such as corporate banking, data and technology.

Another 400 positions will be made available to university and polytechnic students to provide insights into the banking and insurance industry.

In addition, OCBC will continue to offer trainee positions through the Technology in Finance Immersion Programme (TFIP) to help job seekers who are looking for a career switch in new areas such as cloud computing, cybersecurity, and full stack development within the financial services sector.

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.
