On Tuesday 22nd October, Ward Goodman Financial Services attended the Bournemouth University Annual Career’s Fair and set up our stand for the Future of Advice (FOA) initiative.
Ward Goodman has been part of the FOA initiative for a number of years along with a number of local financial services firms. The aim of the initiative is to provide a diverse and quality stream of talented individuals into progressive and quality financial planning firms and for them to truly understand what it is like working in the financial services industry.
We believe FOA is a really great way to uncover fresh talent into the industry offering:
- Paid placements with local financial advice firms
- Valuable professional experience
- Opportunities for industry recognised qualifications
- Accelerated career and network development
- Established mentor and peer support channels
At Ward Goodman, the successful student will get to work closely alongside our team of experienced financial advisers, paraplanners and administrators to cover the full financial planning process from beginning to end. The placement student gets involved in all aspects of the team development including meetings with investment professionals.
The Career’s Fair was a chance to talk to the students about financial services and what a fantastic career it provides. We had some interesting and engaging conversations with the students, many of whom have completed modules in their second year of university which piqued an interest in what we do!
Ward Goodman Financial Services are currently welcoming applications for our next placement student with a start date in Summer 2025. The vacancy is available to view on BU MyCareerHub.
