Financial services organisation Securitor has responded to what it perceives as a skills shortage among financial advice support staff by launching the Securitor Paraplanning Academy.
The academy is a training and education initiative designed to promote the practical application of technical skills and the transfer of theoretical knowledge into the workplace for advisers’ support staff, attributes Securitor has identified as currently lacking in the industry.
Securitor head Neil Young said: “Despite current market circumstances, there remains a severe shortage of financial advisers in the industry.
“We want to address this skills shortage by supporting our clients [in training and developing] talent within their own business.”
To be eligible, candidates must be existing paraplanners from Securitor and Licensee Select businesses.
