Individuals in this program should aim to add value every step of the way, increasing results for Baird while earning opportunities to deepen their knowledge and experience with the ultimate goal of joining a team.

    The program is divided between the Education/Application Phase and the Branch Rotations Phase.

    Education & Application Phase

    You will complete a one year critical foundational curriculum, which includes education and training, while working with key departments and finishing licensing exams. You will face real, practical, client-facing work in the Client Resource Team (CRT) and on a sponsoring wealth management team that requires individuals to leverage and apply training.

    • Complete sales and client service training, articulate your value proposition as well as complete a variety of quizzes and case studies to test your knowledge and understanding
    • Complete a rough draft of a biography, business plan and pipeline tracking document

    • Begin to drip on your pipeline through your Business Development Rotation
    • Network with potential branch rotations with permanent teaming opportunities during this first year

    The goal during this phase is to earn the trust of your team and build credibility such that you are given increased responsibilities. This is all with the aim to get as many real-world application experiences and network to earn a Branch Rotation with a team.

    Branch Rotations Phase

    If you have earned the opportunity to complete Branch Rotations with 1-2 prospective teams in the second year of the program, the goal is to solidify a permanent opportunity with one of these teams.

    • Articulate the value you could add to their practice and test the fit of the relationship

    • Ability to work with a variety of teams and leaders, increasing your knowledge and skills through many different work experiences and opportunities across Private Wealth Management
    • Long term financial advisor opportunities available in many locations across the country

    What we look for

    • Commitment to become a Financial Advisor at the conclusion of the program and strong desire to develop skills in client service, wealth management, new business development and practice management

    • If 3+ years of experience, potential to do the 12 months of training at the local branch. If less than 3 years of experience, open to being based out of Milwaukee, WI for 12 months of training with the potential to relocate to a targeted branch office across the country following graduation
