Industry leaders bullish over hiring outlook for finance sector

The Financial Training Institute at SMU said there have already been more enquiries from the industry for training in areas such as capital markets. SMU is rolling out more than 30 programmes next year, of which 17 are new. SMU Dean of Executive & Professional Education Associate Professor Annie Koh is confident of demand for banking services, transactions, and consumer banking services and wealth management services. Therefore the back-end and middle-market need to be prepared for that front-end movement.
