Operating in a robust global economy, the financial services sector is experiencing its most transformative times in recent history.
As digitalisation, automation, and globalisation continues to accelerate, employers in the financial services industry are reassessing the skill sets they will need and nurture in for the near- and long-term future. That’s why it’s more important than ever for banks, investment companies and others in the finance industry to not just attract great talent, but also to train and upskill the existing banking and finance workforce services.
