Edward Jones investment representatives never stop training

Kent Borsch of the financial services firm Edward Jones hasn’t completed his training yet. That’s because the training program at Edward Jones is ongoing throughout an investment representative’s career.

“At Edward Jones, my training began on day one and hasn’t stopped,” Borsch said. “That’s one of the things that initially drew me to the firm. I know that people wouldn’t trust their health to a doctor whose knowledge is outdated, and they shouldn’t trust their financial health with an investment representative whose training isn’t current.”

Douglas E. Hill, managing partner of the firm, said that Edward Jones investment representatives are carefully chosen from among the best in the industry. After being hired, they go through one of the most rigorous training programs in the industry, involving three months of 10-hour days, six days a week.
