Jeremiah Quinlan, Dean of Undergraduate Admissions at Yale University pointed out to Careers360 sometimes back what global companies look for in students. “In today’s modern world, you know it’s not really about all the skills that you know, it’s how quickly you can learn what you need to learn when you start a new job,” he said. Quinlan is bang on target when it comes to Banking and Financial Services as these services require not just functional experts, but those who are quick learners as well.

Manpower requirement

The projected manpower requirement of the Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) sector work force by 2022 is 8.5 million - which is an increase of about 4 - 4.5 million from where we stand today. A number of institutions are offering programmes in collaboration with industry bodies and organisations to fill the gap in demand for qualified professionals in the domain. Neeti Sharma, Senior Vice President TeamLease Services says,“Banking and financial services is one of the burgeoning sectors in the region. By 2017, the region alone is expected to create around 33% of the total employment generated by the BFSI industry. We are confident that such collaborations will not only enable students to take advantage of the opportunity and get gainful employment, it will also create a pool of skilled talent for the industry to recruit from.”
