Upskilling For Digital Workers In Financial Sector

As we progress further into our digital transformation journey, one area that seems to play an important role is not the technology, but the people. Getting the right talent and preparing the current workforce for our digital dream is vital. The Finance Accreditation Agency or FAA is an independent quality assurance and accreditation body for the financial services industry (FSI) set up by Bank Negara Malaysia and Securities Commission of Malaysia. Their task? To ensure the quality and learning developments of the talent pool within the rapidly growing fintech sector. We speak to Khairul Nizam, CEO of FAA about their journey so far and what’s been lacking to put Malaysia on talent hub map.
