Here at Northwestern Mutual, we have the mentorship and resources you need to jump-start your career! It’s part of what has made our program a TOP 10 INTERNSHIP for the past 25 years in a row.
Financial Representative Interns at Northwestern Mutual White Plains help their clients live more and worry less through our unique approach to financial planning. Our interns, who come from varying academic backgrounds and experiences, begin to build a financial planning practice while employing local and nationwide experts, exclusive financial products, and the support of a Fortune 100 company. You will have the opportunity to build your confidence, develop a professional network, and change people’s lives by helping them achieve financial freedom.
Here, hard work pays off!
Our internship program mimics our full-time Financial Representative role, allowing you to:
- Build your client base through prospecting and networking
- Call on potential clients and set meetings to understand their financial goals
- Prepare plans and offer useful recommendations
- Gain exposure to planning software platforms
- Get licensed with your Life, Accident, and Health insurance license
- Participate in weekly coaching, training, and development meetings
All interns will experience a real-world business environment while working with experienced financial representatives and will receive guidance through effective mentoring and business coaching to develop their skill set. Along with excellent mentorship and business coaching, the internship also offers the opportunity to directly interact with clients to develop an understanding for client needs, goals and objectives to help find effective solutions for any financial obstacles that could arise. Interns attend the same weekly meetings that full-time advisors do and will be working alongside these same full-time advisors to cultivate an interactive learning experience. They also will be held to similar expectations, to give them a firsthand look into what being an advisor is like with the intention of having them test-drive this career.
With interest, eligible interns have an opportunity to interview for a full-time Financial Representative role upon graduation.
