VectorNEXT has been busy this fall!
Over the past few weeks, our team has had the opportunity to connect with students at the University of Alabama and Freed-Hardeman University, sharing more about Vector, our internship program, and the possibilities of a career in financial planning.
At the University of Alabama, Paige Armstrong, Josh Jordan, and Marshall Dearing attended the Financial Planning Association mixer and career fair. Paige, a former VectorNEXT intern herself, loved getting to meet students interested in the program and hear more about their interests and what is drawing them toward financial planning.
“I really enjoyed hearing about their interests and passions, and what’s driving them toward a career in financial planning.”
We also had the opportunity to return to Freed-Hardeman University for our annual VectorNEXT Preview Event. Senior Partner Marshall Dearing shared:
“Our hope through this event is to show the tremendous opportunity for young people as they enter into the financial services industry and make a lasting impact in their communities, churches, families, and beyond.”
The day included candid conversations about life as an advisor, an inside look at Vector, and the opportunity to hear from one of our industry partners about their role in financial services.
We’re grateful for every opportunity to meet students, hear their stories, answer their questions, and help them explore what a career in financial planning could look like.
We’re looking forward to continuing the conversation!
