Here is the job description:

Job Description: Interns with the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network
have the same opportunities to build their careers as full-time
representatives. Supported by our network of specialists, training
programs and mentoring opportunities, interns have access to the
resources, products and assistance they need to help their clients and
build their practices.
Like Financial Representatives, interns strive to understand their
clients' goals and visions in order to uncover financial solutions that
put them on a path to success. Financial Representative interns are in
business for themselves – but they're not alone to uncover financial
solutions that put them on a path to success.

Spring and Fall Interns are required to work 15-20 hours per week.
Summer interns are required to work full time, or 40 hours per week. All
schedules are flexible.
A financial representative intern is invited to all the same weekly and
monthly training as a full time financial representative. They are
required to come in every week for development training, phoning night
and can also schedule individual time with a College Unit Director for
help and assistance with case preparation. Our College Unit Director's
serve as a mentor within the program and will also go on client meetings
with interns. Interns will also have weekly meetings with our team
members to assist them with cases that they have in the process,
technology training, or additional product knowledge. Interns will be
scheduling appointments with clients for an initial fact finder, or a
closing appointment. They are also encouraged to network with
individuals that they know so some may attend networking events, or will
schedule prospecting meetings with their centers of influence. Prior to
the work that they will be doing in the field, all interns are required
to attend and additional training at our regional sales academy which
will preface the work they will be doing with clients.
