Financial Planning + Sales Internship - Sponsored Licensing & Full Training

Graduating in 2027?

This internship is designed for students who are looking for more than just a semester-long experience. We are seeking future full-time financial professionals who want to build valuable skills, gain real-world experience, and position themselves for a full-time career offer after graduation.

Our Spring Internship Program runs from January through April, with flexible scheduling of approximately 10-15 hours per week to fit around academic, athletic, and extracurricular commitments.

Why This Internship Stands Out

Unlike traditional internships, you'll gain hands-on experience performing many of the same responsibilities as our full-time financial advisors. You'll receive professional training, mentorship, and the opportunity to begin building the foundation for a successful long-term career.

Benefits include:

• Hands-on financial planning experience modeled directly after our full-time role
• Exposure to real client interactions and wealth management strategies
• One-on-one mentorship, coaching, and joint-work opportunities
• Flexible scheduling around your academic calendar
• Opportunity to earn professional designations, including SIE, Series 6, and Series 63
• Paid internship: $3,000 plus uncapped commission
• Priority consideration for full-time career opportunities after graduation
• A chance to evaluate Northwestern Mutual as a long-term career while building valuable professional experience

Areas of Practice

• Comprehensive Financial Planning
• Investment & Advisory Services
• Retirement Planning
• Asset & Income Protection
• Trust & Estate Planning
• Education Funding Strategies
• Business Planning Solutions
• Employee & Executive Benefits

Who We're Looking For

This opportunity is ideal for students who:

• Are graduating in 2027
• Want an internship that can lead to a full-time role after graduation
• Have demonstrated leadership through athletics, campus organizations, professional associations, or community involvement
• Are entrepreneurial, goal-oriented, and self-motivated
• Enjoy building relationships and helping others achieve success
• Attend school near Cincinnati/Dayton or have strong ties to the area

Build Your Career Before Graduation

At Northwestern Mutual, you'll gain more than internship experience. You'll develop professional skills, expand your network, and have the opportunity to transition into a full-time career upon graduation. If you're looking to launch your career rather than simply complete an internship requirement, we'd love to connect with you.
