MILWAUKEE, July 26 /PRNewswire/ — The Northwestern Mutual internship program has done it again!

The Vault Guide to Internships, 2008, bases its internship rankings on a variety of factors, including substantive work, compensation, real-world experiences, selectivity, subjective expertise and how internships with the company are perceived to potential employers. The Northwestern Mutual Financial Network’s program is in good company with other elite Top 10 internships such as Google, PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
A financial representative intern with the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network gains the same knowledge and training of full-time representatives, learning the basics of the insurance and financial services industry. They are compensated on a performance-based system, and provided mentoring and support from seasoned veterans throughout the office.
Over the past 40 years, more than 20,000 students have gained invaluable knowledge of the business and financial world through the financial representative internship program. Annually, the program offers internships to about 1,000 students, a number which the company intends to double over the coming years.
