JPMorgan Chase & Co has revamped its entry-level programme for technologists to attract more young software engineers amid a battle for top talent between Wall Street and Silicon Valley.

The bank has adapted the two-year curriculum to focus on technical skills and will provide recruits hands-on experience on more challenging projects, Lori Beer, JPMorgan's global chief information officer, shared.
