Message From The Vice President
Dear colleagues, friends, partners and supporters,
Synergy is now 4 years old and this is a special edition. Two business units – the Centre for Professional Studies (CPS) and Financial Training Institute (FTI) – that had been nurtured under the Office of Business Development, have grown substantially in the last few years and they will be integrated under a broader entity which houses professional continuing education from 1 April 2017. The Business Families Institute (BFI) and International Trading Institute (ITI), will meanwhile continue to be under the academic leadership of the Office of Business Development, as they progress steadily and press on with impactful activities that benefit their stakeholders and the industries they serve.
Together with fellow FTI coursemates, these SkillsFuture Study Award winners are building a workforce made up of competent and versatile finance professionals.
Given the volatility of today’s financial markets, what does it take for professionals in the banking and financial services industry to stay on top of their game? Practitioners who facilitate specialist programmes for FTI share their thoughts.
