AT NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL, SUCCESS IS MUTUAL. WHEN YOU INTERN WITH US, YOU’RE OPENING THE DOORS TO YOUR FUTURE CAREER.
An internship at Northwestern Mutual gives you valuable, real-world work experience to prepare you for a career at Northwestern Mutual or elsewhere, while building on your classroom learning.
You will meet with clients to find out their needs and goals, make recommendations for the appropriate insurance and investment products, and provide ongoing client service beyond the sale. You’ll have meaningful mentorships, access to strong professional networks, and immediate career opportunities with virtually unlimited earning potential. And it’s flexible too. You’ll have a schedule that lets you pursue your interests and rewards you for your hard work.
You'll find that the Northwestern Mutual Internship is more than a summer job. It's a truly meaningful experience that builds your business skills and helps clients achieve their hopes and dreams. With support from your network office, you'll work for yourself, but never by yourself.
Our interns come from varying academic backgrounds and experiences to build rewarding practices and relationships with their clients.
