Pathways to High-Paying, Licensed Financial Services Careers for Nontraditional Candidates

Financial services faces a growing shortage of wealth advisors and remains predominantly white and male, while excluding talented adults without elite four-year degrees. Support to Succeed is an end-to-end solution addressing root barriers - degree screens, licensing exams, and limited networks. We shift narratives through a scalable model that admits nontraditional candidates, focusing on women and people of color, prepares them to pass licensing exams and land jobs, and supports long-term persistence in high-demand, AI-resilient careers.
