This first-of-its-kind program was created to meet the evolving needs of the trust industry by offering a real-world, working professional-friendly alternative to traditional, compressed training formats. Over the course of 10 weeks, participants gain and apply critical technical knowledge in real time—building lasting expertise in fiduciary principles, compliance, investment oversight, legal fundamentals, and client communication. At the heart of the program is Jennifer Zelvin McCloskey, an estate planning attorney, former JP Morgan trust officer, and architect of both the University of Delaware Trust Management Minor and the Peak Trust Management Certificate. Jennifer brings unmatched legal and fiduciary expertise—and a rare ability to make trusts and tax engaging, relevant, and even fun. Her passion for helping students succeed is central to the program’s success. At Peak Trust Company, we’re proud to be making a strategic investment in our people—not just for today, but for the future of the profession. Our inaugural participants represent a range of roles and experience levels, united by a shared commitment to excellence: ⭐ James MeierSandra BartaAutumn TremontAmber GunnFaydra Ross But this program is about more than just developing our own team.
