Over 100 Individuals Trained
According to WRISE, it has trained more than 100 undergraduates, graduates and working professionals since the academy’s launch with nearly 50 percent achieving career transitions to become independent wealth consultants (IWC).
More than 40 seminars and thematic programs have been hosted with a memorandum of understanding signed with the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst Association (CAIA) to develop programs on topics such as alternatives.
