Howwow online: The next paraplanner generation - May 2017
By Paraplanners' Assembly
What's it all about?
As a relatively new role within financial services, it's today's paraplanners that have worked hard to define and establish the profession.
But, one question remains, how do we build on this? Join May's Howwow panel in discussing the training, recruiting and the career opportunities for the generation who will follow in our footsteps and define paraplanning for the future.
You'll hear:
- practical experience from team leaders and employers who have recruited and worked with new paraplanners
- how Para-Sols has put together one of the leading graduate recruitment and training schemes in paraplanning
This is the Howwow for you if you are:
- someone who wants to take up paraplanning as a career (from graduates, school leavers, career changers, to ex-advisers etc)
- an employer/team leader interested in hiring and developing your own paraplanners
- working with young people looking for more information

How does this Howwow Online thing work?
Save your spot by clicking the button on the top right. It's free, the only thing you have to do is register an account.
On the day of the Howwow just sign back in here. But, we'll also send a reminder email ten minutes before it starts.
On the tech side of things. Viewing the Howwow on browsers such as Chrome or Firefox work best. Headphones are a good idea if you share an office, plus the ability to type so that you can ask questions via the chat feature.
What if I can't make it to the Howwow?
Just sign-in and view a recording of the session whenever it suits you.
Can I ask questions?
Yes! As many as you can throw at our panel. Plus, if you can't make the Howwow, book a spot and add a question beforehand, the panel will then answer it during the event.
Can I suggest a Howwow topic or be on the panel?
Absolutely, the more the merrier. Drop us an email.
Are there more Online Howwows?
You bet your bottom dollar there are, and on lots of useful topics for paraplanners. Watch past and/or register for any upcoming events here.
There isn't an upcoming Howwow listed, when will the next one be?
Sorry about that. We're just confirming the topics and putting together an A-Team panel for it. We do aim for every last Wednesday of the month, at lunch time (1-2pm for most normal folk), so you can join in while eating your sandwich.
Sometimes we'll throw a curve ball and change the date. That's because we want to bring you AMAZING panel members, and they just can't make Wednesdays. It's as simple as that.
Powwows vs Howwows - what's the difference?
Here's the Powwow lingo. Powwows are informal gatherings designed by paraplanners for paraplanners to exchange views, learn things, fix things and share things.
Got that? But there's more. Where Powwow gatherings are on a number of topics, Howwows are for those times when we want to focus on ONE topic in particular and, in depth.
Sometimes we meet in person, and sometimes we just like a good chinwag online. Enter Howwows Online.
You can find out more about Powwows or see a full list of all events here.
Actually, my question was on something else
Ooh, we like new questions. Just pop it in an email and send it on its merry way to [email protected].
One last question, what do you do with my details when I sign up?
Crikey, another good question! We’ll use your details to keep you posted on Powwow happenings. From time to time, this will include activities that our supporters are participating in that we think you’ll find interesting. We share information at an aggregate level with our supporters every now and then.
Please see our Privacy Policy here for details of how we will process your personal information.
