Edward Jones has been named a 2026 Training APEX Award winner, marking the firm’s commitment to learning and professional development. The firm ranked no. 13 and marks Edward Jones’ twenty-sixth consecutive appearance on the list.
This award, presented by Training magazine, honors organizations that create impactful and effective training programs that support both associates and the clients they serve.

That’s how Suzan McDaniel, Chief Human Resources Officer, describes the foundation of our learning philosophy — a belief that career development is a continuous, lived experience that shapes who we are as colleagues, leaders and partners in our communities.

“Our responsibility is to support the development of our colleagues so they can deepen their expertise, adapt as needs evolve and build meaningful careers at the firm. We believe learning is a continuous, lived experience that shapes our culture and fuels meaningful outcomes, for our colleagues, our clients and the communities we serve,” said Suzan.

From day one and throughout your journey here, we focus on helping associates deepen their expertise, adapt to evolving needs and build meaningful, long-term careers.

Whether you’re exploring opportunities as a financial advisor, a client support professional, or across the home office, here’s what this recognition reflects about the environment you’d be joining:

• An approach to continued learning and development that blends training, leadership development and professional designations to support both personal and professional growth. Edward Jones leads the industry in Financial Paraplanner Qualified Professional® designees among client support professionals. These advanced skills enable more informed client conversations and strengthen long-term client relationships.
• Learning that extends beyond technical skills. Our Better Together Summits, for example, bring thousands of associates and external experts together to share perspectives, build relationships, and strengthen how we collaborate across teams, regions and markets. In recent years, nearly 15,000 associates have participated in these immersive experiences.
• Learning pathways that mix digital learning, in-person collaboration, coaching and peer-to-peer interaction.

For more than two decades, our approach to training has helped Edward Jones remain a place where people don’t just work — they grow, lead and build careers with purpose. Explore career opportunities near you.
