TALENT MANAGEMENT

Bursa Malaysia strongly believes in promoting human capability building and favours educational initiatives. Since 2006, the Yayasan Bursa Malaysia scholarship programme has aimed to support and groom future leaders, specifically in the corporate and financial industry, thus contributing to an enhanced workforce. In 2008, Bursa Malaysia presented academic scholarships worth a total of RM216,000 to five deserving and outstanding Malaysian students. The stringent selection process was based on a combination of academic achievements, writing skills, general knowledge of the capital market and globalisation, communication skills as well as motivation, leadership and teamwork.

During the year, Bursa Malaysia actively pursued its close partnerships with various universities and played host to many interns. The Management Trainee programme provided an additional opportunity for top students who had successfully completed their undergraduate studies to work with Bursa Malaysia and, hence, obtain exposure to the securities industry.
