Singapore-based ICMIF member NTUC Income (Income) is targeting to recruit 1,200 new financial advisors with the launch of its Sales Management Associate (SMA) programme. Designed to groom participants, such as fresh graduates and mid-career job seekers, with little to no financial advisory experience, to become sales specialists and leaders in the insurance industry, Income says SMA is the only programme in the industry that offers integrated career tracks in financial advisory that range from tied advisors, to retail and financial advisors. This gives participants a holistic exposure to the insurance industry and financial advisory before they decide on a career track to pursue.
