St. James’s Place Academy are delighted to welcome 37 individuals in January who have decided to change career and become financial planners through our training programme.

Of those 37, we were especially pleased to welcome 25 individuals who have come from a non-financial services background, from careers as diverse as teaching, sales, hospitality to professional athletes.

The average age of the career changers is 35, which is many years younger than the financial services industry average!

We wish all these career changers the best of luck with their new venture at St. James’s Place.

If you’re considering a career change and interested in finding out more about what it’s like to train with us to become a financial planner, please get in touch to find out more.
