Company Profile

Investing in talent for skills development 

OCBC invests heavily in its people. To support employee development and mobility, $50 million was invested from 2018 to 2023, with an additional $30 million committed for three years in 2023. The bank introduced initiatives such as skills portfolio workshops, an internal coaching certification programme, and an AI-powered career marketplace that offers personalised skills-based recommendations for learning and career growth opportunities. 

OCBC is also committed to providing more pathways for young talent in the financial sector. In June 2024, it launched OCBC Ignite, an accelerated career pathway for polytechnic students designed in partnership with all five polytechnics in Singapore. At the end of an internship and apprenticeship, successful participants will be fast-tracked to take on university graduate-equivalent roles at the bank. 

OCBC continues to provide growth and mobility opportunities for its people through the various schemes administered by IBF under the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) Talent and Leaders in Finance Programme. Over the past three years, more than 50 per cent of the bank’s workforce in Singapore has benefited from these initiatives.
