As part of its commitment to being the firm of choice for women financial advisors, Ameriprise Financial is hosting events aimed at attracting more women into careers in the financial services industry. Ameriprise “Career Compass” events are designed to help women with varying levels of experience explore a career as financial advisors or consider other rewarding positions that can help clients secure their financial future. Women who are seeking to make a career change or re-enter the workforce after time away are invited to join. Recent or soon-to-be college graduates interested in learning more about available careers are also encouraged to participate. Registration is now open for the February 22 virtual event (register for the event).
During the sessions, attendees will hear from Ameriprise women financial advisors and leaders on topics ranging from their personal career paths to how they help clients reach their financial goals. The presenters will also discuss the skills needed for success in the profession and share advice on pursuing a career in finance.
Following the events, interested attendees are encouraged to apply for job opportunities at Ameriprise in areas including:
- The Ameriprise Advisor Career Development Program: This program provides professionals making a career change with training and resources to succeed as an employee advisor at an Ameriprise branch office.
- The Ameriprise Advisor Center (AAC): The AAC provides opportunities to join an advising team as client service coordinators, learning foundational aspects of the business while obtaining their licenses and registrations required for advancement.
- Becoming an Associate Financial Advisor (AFA): AFAs work with experienced advisors in Ameriprise’s Independent Advisor channel. They receive mentoring and learn how to successfully manage practices and acquire clients.
“Women make exceptional financial advisors and yet they’re still underrepresented in the industry. That’s why Ameriprise is on a mission to ensure more women know and consider the benefits of a career as a financial advisor,” said Brenda Vaughn, Vice President of Supervision and Women’s Strategy Co-Lead at Ameriprise Financial. “Our Career Compass event series provides an excellent platform for women to learn about the rewarding professional possibilities at Ameriprise and within the broader industry.”
