New course on small business for bank execs

SMU has teamed up with United Overseas Bank (UOB) to offer a tertiary education course for small-business banking executives. The UOB-SMU Banker's Executive Certificate programme will offer training in specialised skills to help small businesses expand. UOB said on Thursday, June 18, that it expects to train 120 banking executives by the end of this year. The course, which started this month, is part of a two-year training programme for business banking sales employees under UOB's career development programme.
