In a bid to address the evolving landscape of the finance profession, ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and NTUC’s e2i (Employment and Employability Institute) are launching the 2026 Talent Activation Hub on 10 July at NTUC Centre. This initiative aims to connect finance professionals with 17 employers, including Deloitte and Ernst & Young, offering job opportunities and career guidance amidst the rise of artificial intelligence (AI).
The Talent Activation Hub is a response to the findings of ACCA’s Global Talent Trends 2026 report, which revealed that whilst 81% of Singapore’s finance professionals are confident in learning AI skills, 48% are concerned about AI’s impact on their roles. The event will feature five sessions discussing AI’s influence on finance roles, national upskilling strategies, and real career journeys from industry experts.
Daniel Leung, Country Manager of ACCA Singapore, stated, “Technology is changing how finance professionals work, but it is also creating new opportunities for those willing to adapt and develop new skills.” Jean Tan, CEO Designate of NTUC’s e2i, added, “Through our partnership with ACCA, NTUC’s e2i is creating opportunities for accountancy and tax professionals to gain employability insights.”
The event aligns with Singapore’s 2026 Budget, which prioritises AI capability-building, particularly in the accountancy sector. Attendees can also benefit from a complimentary LinkedIn photoshoot and participate in ACCA’s Virtual Career Fair on 23 July. Registration is open online, with walk-ins welcome on the day.
