Training and Education, specifically under the FICS framework is key in building and sustaining a strong Singaporean Core in the Finance and Business Services Industry. Mr. Terry Lee, the chairman of NTUC’s Finance and Business Services Cluster was encouraged by the response, and highlighted the importance of Singaporeans being constantly up-skilled in the industry. “As Singapore’s finance sector competes globally, there is a strong need, as highlighted by DPM Tharman previously, for Singaporeans to remain competitive and be given a leg up in continuous development and progress in their careers. The Labour Movement firmly believes that Singaporeans maintain advantages in this sector and we support the FICS framework. Holding an event like today’s will help PMEs know more about being up skilled in line with industry standards and in so doing give them more opportunities to reach their career milestones.”
