Standard Chartered has launched its new global learning hub in Singapore, a statement read.

With the launch of the diSCover Lab, the bank hopes to accelerate employee reskilling and development efforts to boost future competitiveness. Through the lab, the bank aims to train and upskill 8,000 employees in Singapore by 2022.

Housed at Standard Chartered @ Changi 1, the lab takes on a hybrid approach of virtual and face-to-face training, as well as via ‘diSCover’ – the Bank’s “Netflix of Learning”, where employees can access learning modules and curriculum, from blockchain to data, artificial intelligence and personal development. Each learning module or accredited training programme can last from a few hours to 18 months.

The lab brings together nine Future Skills academies, namely aXess, Data & Analytics, Cyber, Digital, New Ways of Working, Client Advisory, Leadership, Human and Sustainable Finance, which will focus programmes on future growth areas such as digital banking, international banking, cyber-information security, data solutions, analytics, cloud, AI architect, API, and DevOps.

To ensure a pipeline of talent in these future roles, the bank will work with tertiary institutions, government workforce agencies as well as industry partners to hire and undergo training at the diSCover Lab.
