DBS has launched an in-house digital training academy to keep its 5,000-strong tech workforce updated with the latest skills.

The academy will cover three technology areas, including site reliability engineering, data processing and analytics, and application security.

The Singapore-based bank is also sponsoring training for 200 Singaporeans to enhance the local technology talent pool.

In in-house training is designed to enable employees to acquire the latest technology skillsets from external industry experts and apply the skills learned to relevant technology projects being rolled out by the bank.

“DBS is always looking for innovative ways to maximise the potential of existing and emerging technologies to deliver differentiated and exceptional services to our customers,” said Jimmy Ng, group chief information officer, DBS. “To do that, we need to ensure that our technologists are equipped with the right skills so that we can continue delivering joyful banking experiences.
“Having our own DBS Future Tech Academy gives us the agility to adapt our training curricula according the bank’s needs and enables us to stay ahead of the massive changes around us.”
