NEW YORK, Aug. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Rutgers, The
State University of New Jersey, a
leading national research university, and Genpact (NYSE: G), a
global professional services firm focused on delivering digital
transformation, today announced the expansion of their unique
curriculum program that provides graduate students with advanced
analytics and research skills. Participants also receive more
exposure to practical, industry knowledge to better prepare them
for a risk management career.
Students in Rutgers' Financial
Statistics and Risk Management (FSRM) graduate program benefit from
classes developed and taught by Genpact experts in analytics,
digital technology, regulatory compliance areas like anti-money
laundering and other financial crimes, and risk management
consulting. The holistic curriculum combines theory and practice
with exposure to industry experts as guest lecturers, case studies
from actual client scenarios, and hands-on workshops. By leveraging
advanced analytics and technology, coupled with real-world domain
expertise, Genpact and Rutgers help
create a more competitive workforce with skills that reflect the
business environment's increasing complexity.
Banks and financial institutions continue to face a volatile
market with ever-increasing regulations. In addition, a "digital
first" world has fueled a data explosion, driving demand for risk
management professionals with new skills and smarter decision
making to meet the needs in a changing market. In response, Genpact
built its global Risk Academy that works with colleges to help
develop talent and fill these skills gaps.
"Genpact provides our students with knowledge they would never
attain in a traditional academic class alone," Dr. Neville O' Reilly, FSRM program deputy director,
Rutgers University. "We partner
together to develop a curriculum that provides more pragmatic
knowledge of how the banking industry truly operates, and the
instructors bring experience and understanding of risk management
from their work with leading global financial institutions."
The program with Rutgers University
began in 2015, and is the latest example of Genpact's expanded
relationships with universities around the world. Advanced
coursework added this year includes more in-depth technical topics
in data analytics, financial crimes and sanctions, as well as
practical skills like project management and risk consulting. This
innovative joint alliance comprises a set of methodologies and
applied learning based on Genpact's expertise and broad suite of
analytics solutions serving numerous global financial institutions.
In addition to technical and domain knowledge, courses also
emphasize professional skills development.
"Genpact and Rutgers have built a
broader learning platform for risk management and analytics to
increase employability of market-ready professionals," said
Manish Chopra, senior vice president
and business leader, Global Risk Services, Genpact. "Our
expertise in innovation for analytics and digital technology,
combined with experience at numerous leading global banks, helps
encourage new ideas between industry and academia around
data-enabled decision-making in risk management."
Students completing the FSRM program earn a Master's degree in
statistics focused on the analysis and modeling of financial data
and risk management. They also can participate in Genpact's campus
recruitment activities, conducted during both fall and spring
sessions.
