Launch Your Career Before You Graduate

Looking for more than just a typical internship? At Northwestern Mutual, you’ll get hands-on experience running your own business while still in college. As a College Financial Representative, you’ll build real-world skills, grow a professional network, and make a meaningful impact by helping people achieve financial freedom.

This isn’t busywork—this is your chance to gain experience that actually sets you apart.

 

What You’ll Do

Think of this internship as a preview of a full-time career—where you’re in control:

  • Build your own client base through networking and outreach
  • Learn how to create and execute a business strategy
  • Meet with real clients to understand their financial goals
  • Develop personalized financial plans and recommendations
  • Use industry-leading planning tools and technology
  • Participate in weekly coaching, training, and mentorship sessions
  • Earn your Life, Accident, and Health insurance licenses

 

What You’ll Gain

  • Entrepreneurial experience – run your own business, not just intern
  • Professional development – sharpen communication, sales, and leadership skills
  • Flexible schedule – work around classes, activities, and life
  • Networking opportunities – connect with mentors, leaders, and peers nationwide
  • Certifications support – Series 6 & 63, CFP® pathway
  • Resume-boosting experience – stand out to future employers

Plus, high-performing interns may have the opportunity to move into a full-time role after graduation.

  • Monthly development stipends (up to $1,000)
  • Bonuses for hitting goals
  • Coverage for licensing and professional certifications

  • Strong time management skills
  • Entrepreneurial mindset and willingness to learn
