How can I get a job with skills from a financial advisor development program?

Once you complete a Financial Advisor Development Program (FADP), you can become a financial advisor or pursue another career in finance. These programs prepare you to become a Certified Financial Planner (CFP), and many employers typically require you to earn this accreditation. To qualify for this program, you must have a bachelor's degree in finance, business, accounting, or a related field, though some programs accept students who are still in college and meet grade point average (GPA) and knowledge requirements. After training, you need to pass the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) exams. Many financial services companies hire FADP program participants internally and assign them responsibilities in the area in which they excelled during the program.
