Since 2017, about 20% of the bank’s hires have been non-degree holders. DBS plans to scale the programme across all five polytechnics in Singapore. This is part of efforts under the Techskills Accelerator (TeSA) for ITE and Polytechnics Alliance (TIP Alliance), set up by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) together with industry partners.
DBS has launched a three-year apprenticeship programme to prepare polytechnic students here for technology roles within the bank.
Developed in collaboration with Temasek Polytechnic and Nanyang Polytechnic, the DBS FinTech Apprenticeship Programme will take in 20 students this year for a start, says the bank on Oct 10.
