Professional Conversion Programme (PCP) for Consumer Banking
To help finance practitioners in Singapore build up their skills in new areas, IBF and WSG have launched a professional conversion programme (PCP) for consumer banking. This PCP will proactively prepare consumer banking professionals for new and emerging roles, as banks use more digital platforms to engage customers.
