LAB FOR ANALYTICS AND Technology

OCBC may contribute money to the construction of a teaching facility on its Punggol campus as part of its strategic partnership with SIT. &nbsp,

One of the biggest laboratories in any higher learning institution in Singapore is the capacity for up to 100 Bloomberg connectors inside it, which is designed to be one of the largest.

The test will also provide hands-on encounter with economic analysis tools, as well as cutting-edge technologies for students, instructors and business partners.

Educational mentoring activities, such as seminars on financial education, financial planning, and pension planning will also be conducted in the facility.

BOND-FREE Bursaries

Beginning in 2025, OCBC will partner with SIT in its included work-study program and provide bond-free scholarships to five SIT academic students each year.

Each scholarship is worth S$ 11, 000 per month, and beneficiaries will receive support for up to four years, depending on the degree program’s duration.

The scholarship recipients will also be given internship&nbsp, options at OCBC. &nbsp,

This&nbsp, comes on top of the bond-free fellowships that OCBC has been awarding since the 1950s, the lender noted.

SIT may also make some of its features, such as its&nbsp, multi-purpose sports rooms and hall, &nbsp, available for OCBC’s business activities.
