UBS floats new learning platform SUPER

This aims to create 300 new jobs in the financial sector.

UBS has set up the learning platform Singapore UBS Program for Employability and Resilience (SUPER) with the aim to help graduates and mid-career individuals develop sustainable skills in the financial sector, the financial services company announced.

UBS is partnering with the government’s job support scheme to develop the programme to create 300 new jobs in the industry, according to Edmund KOH, UBS President Asia Pacific.

SUPER aims to help job-seekers navigate a challenging job market over the next 18 months and create a pipeline of financial talent for the future of Singapore. It will also provide training and job opportunities for fresh graduates and mid-career professionals to equip them with skills and experiences for the recovery phase following the pandemic.

UBS employs almost 3,000 people in Singapore, and with the additional platform, it is said to take on an additional 10% of their existing workforce, said August Hatecke, UBS Singapore Country Head and Co-Head of Wealth Management Asia Pacific.

Apart from the SUPER programme, UBS also has its ongoing graduate trainee programme and undergraduate summer internships, which will continue to run as usual.

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.
