NEW YORK, March 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Workforce Opportunity Services (WOS)- a leading non-profit organization attracting hidden talent that can be trained to fill outsourced consultant or employee roles — recently announced that it will expand its training and employment program for the Security Industries Essentials Exam (SIE), helping launch a new wave of career-ready financial and insurance professionals.

The SIE exam was introduced by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in October 2018, and is a prerequisite for certain individuals working within the finance, insurance, and services industry. It includes all basic knowledge of financial services, such as securities trading and research analysis. Within this new expansion, WOS will now provide training to include different exam levels in addition to the SIE exam: the SIE and Series 63, and the SIE, Series 63 and Series 6.

With this addition, WOS will offer their potential partners a workforce that will be uniquely prepared to understand securities products, customer accounts, and prohibited activities; knowing upfront that their applicants are invested, capable and committed.

Since the SIE exam was introduced, WOS has successfully trained over 20 veterans to successfully pass the exam and become employed.

Dr. Arthur Langer, Chairman, and Founder of WOS explained, "Training for this exam sets our consultants apart from other job applicants by demonstrating their knowledge and competency to prospective partners."

All participants in the program will receive an academic stipend, study materials, online course access, and the SIE exam registration.

Since its inception, WOS has provided organizations with outsourced technical and product support, allowing them to take advantage of the ever-growing alternative workforce while offering the highest quality of outsourced employment.
