NIIT, HDFC Bank launch training program for relationship management roles

Private bank HDFC has partnered with talent development company NIIT to train students for a virtual relationship management role in the banking sector. This four-week program seeks to build advanced sales skills among the students for acquiring new customers for multiple products and services.  

Any graduate or postgraduate with up to two years of professional experience is eligible to apply for the virtual relationship management program. The students for this program will be selected from a two-round assessment process. The chosen candidates will then go through further upskilling and training rounds throughout the course. Upon successful completion of the postgraduate program, students will be hired by HDFC bank. 

Speaking about the partnership, Ranga Subramanian, senior vice president (human resource) at HDFC Bank said that the program offers a thorough training module that emphasises on skills required for virtual relationship management roles. “With this partnership, we are confident of creating the perfect launch pad for those wishing to pursue a career in Banking and relationship management,” he said. 

“We are delighted to partner with HDFC Bank towards building highly skilled and contemporary talent for the Bank. Learners who complete the program will be well-positioned to pursue rewarding careers at HDFC Bank,” said Bimaljeet Singh Bhasin, president of Enterprise Business India, NIIT Ltd. 

In July 2022, NIIT and HDFC Bank partnered to release a postgraduate program in data engineering with a special focus on the Banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) industry. This 12-week program with live and instructor-led sessions, along with guest lectures from senior executives of HDFC Bank, assured a job opportunity with the bank for at least 100 top-performing candidates.
