Kick-start your professional career

Are you a student who is passionate about finance and people? Have you considered becoming a wealth advisor? Our mentoring program for women gives you hands-on experience in the field.

A dynamic people-focused career

“The economic power of women is growing quickly. And with this, comes the need  for more wealth advisors to provide clients with personal financial advice.

The number one requirement to be a successful wealth advisor is interpersonal skills, and women are naturals at building relationships.

Our focus for the last decade, has been to build the next generation of female wealth advisors with our Young Women Student Mentorship Program. Today we have partnerships with over 42 universities across Canada and have mentored almost 200 students to date. We're proud of the impact we're having on our industry and in our communities.”

I've learned skills and developed habits that I would've never been able to by simply attending class. This program has taught me to take the initiative to enhance my university experience and the start of my career by growing beyond the classroom. Most importantly, this mentorship experience has reminded me why I am passionate about the financial industry and what I am capable of.
