The financial services sector is one of five sectors which the Manpower Ministry has recently identified as a growth industry.
In a recent report, NTUC's Future Jobs, Skills and Training (FJST) Department highlighted the job growth opportunities as well as the job roles and skills in-demand in the sector.
According to the FJST report and a recent blog post by NTUC Assistant Secretary-General Patrick Tay, who co-chairs the Financial Sector Tripartite Committee, jobs are expected in the areas of wealth management, compliance, risk management, data analytics, cyber-security and FinTech.
