Unique to our program is that we build your rotations as you go, based on your experiences, program goals, network, and development plan. An important component of our Accelerated Leadership Program is identifying the development path that’s right for you, which can be partly informed by these key relationships you build.
As well, in the first six months you will be required to attain your Series 7 and 66 licenses. You will be provided significant study time, resources, and teaching for the license exams.
After the Program:
At the end of the two years, you’ll be paired with a key role and team that mutually benefits you and Edward Jones and will be equipped with the skills necessary to contribute as a team, project, or thought leader in a number of different areas. We also encourage continued movement after the program: the Edward Jones ALP opportunity seeks to develop portable leaders who can guide their careers in multiple areas of the firm.
