Company Profile

Encouraging lifelong learning to stay relevant 

UOB’s upskilling programmes encourage lifelong learning, enabling employees to stay relevant in the bank and the industry. Employees are given the opportunity to expand their skill sets and even pivot into growth areas within UOB and build long-term careers. 

UOB launched its flagship Better U programme in 2019 to equip employees with knowledge and competencies to thrive in an ever-changing environment. The Career+U programme empowers employees to chart their careers by mapping employee aspirations with job opportunities within the bank. It combines targeted talent development courses, career counselling and a one-stop microsite that highlights available internal roles. UOB’s Group Technology and Operations Academy allows fresh graduates and young professionals to apply for internship opportunities and programmes to acquire future-ready skills in technology. 

UOB partners with IBF, Workforce Singapore (WSG) and its employees to design and implement training programmes aligned with the broader industry roadmap. The bank integrates key elements from the industry framework into its programmes to equip employees with essential skills like problem-solving, data analysis and storytelling, digital innovation, and human-centred design.
