A new chapter is opening for Singapore’s financial services sector as technology continues to create new jobs and demand new skills from workers, said NTUC Secretary-General Ng Chee Meng.
Mr Ng was speaking as a guest of honour at the Inaugural Digital Banking Symposium on 3 November 2020.
“COVID-19, in its ironical way, has forced companies, whether big or small, to embrace technology and the possibilities of digitalisation,” said Mr Ng.
He also encouraged workers at this symposium to keep an open mind towards learning to seize opportunities to upgrade and move into new possibilities.
“Enhance your value and enhance your employability, as you prepare for the jobs of tomorrow,” said Mr Ng.
Over 1,000 people signed up for the two-day symposium organised by the Singapore FinTech Association (SFA) and Banking and Financial Services Union (BFSU).
Through a series of thought-leader discussions, workshops and networking events, the symposium aimed to help attendees better understand the impact that digital banks will bring to Singapore Asean.
