Internship Experts at Vault, Inc. Name Northwestern Mutual a Top 10 program for Eleventh Straight Year
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- For the eleventh consecutive year, the Northwestern Mutual internship program has been named a top ten program by the internship experts at Vault, Inc. The Northwestern Mutual Financial Network joins The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and INROADS as the only programs to be named top ten internships since the debut of the Vault Guide to Top Internships was released in 1996.
"We're honored that our internship program has again been named a top ten program by the experts at Vault, Inc.," says Michael Van Grinsven, director of the Northwestern Mutual Internship program. "It is a testament to the company's commitment to our future leaders, but more importantly a reflection on the dedicated and talented students that gain a world-class experience in the program."
The Vault Guide to Internships, 2007, 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.
A financial representative intern with the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network gains the same knowledge and training as 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.
Since 1967, more than 20,000 students have gained valuable knowledge regarding the business and financial world through the internship program with Northwestern Mutual. Annually, the program offers internships to more than 1,000 students, a number that the company intends to double over the coming years.
"As we celebrate our 40th anniversary of the internship program in 2007, we're thrilled to see the program continue to grow and be such a beneficial experience to thousands of students across the country. This program lays the foundation for tomorrow's leaders at Northwestern Mutual or in other professions students pursue," notes Van Grinsven, himself an alumnus of the internship program.
In fact, 25 percent of Managing Partners, Managing Directors and Field Directors with the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network started their career as interns, and 20 percent of the company's top producing financial representatives started as interns.

The Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, the marketing name for the sales and distribution arm of The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, Milwaukee, WI (Northwestern Mutual), provides expert guidance on insurance, investment products and services, retirement and estate analysis, education funding and employee benefits.

The company has also been recognized as one of the "50 Best Companies to Sell For," by Selling Power magazine (2006).

Who are New Leaders?
The New Leaders Program is for young people who are passionate about creating social justice and equality in our society. Program participants are linked to paid internships with progressive organizations in DC ranging from policy and research work to advocacy and organizing to media relations and on-line publications.

Leadership Development: As a New Leader, you will have a variety of opportunities to grow as a leader, network with members of the progressive community, and build the skills and connections you need to deepen your involvement in progressive causes:
Training and Workshops: During your internship, you attend a variety of sessions led by leaders in the progressive movement designed to provide you with the tools and techniques you need to become an effective political leader.
Networking Events: You’ll regularly have the chance to meet leaders in the progressive movement and create lasting relationships with mentors and advisors from throughout Washington.
Mentoring/Career Coaching: You’ll be personally matched to a leader in the progressive community who will provide ongoing support and career counseling during your internship and beyond.
What do young leaders think of the New Leaders Program?
“I was 17 when it hit me that, as an Asian American woman, I would never be President of the United States. I set my sights on becoming a veterinarian instead. The New Leaders Program has rekindled my dream of running for elected office. I can totally see myself in the Senate someday.” - Roheeni Saxena, 2006 New Leader
“The New Leaders Program has inspired me to further explore the advancement of progressive policies and particularly the protection of civil rights.” - Claudia Montelongo, 2006 New Leader
“This summer has been busy! I’m a Press Intern for Congressman Wynn, a Policy Intern for the National AIDS Housing Coalition, a volunteer canvasser for a DC mayoral campaign, and — most importantly — I am a New Leader! I’ve learned so much about politics and policy, but most of all, I’ve learned about myself, my values, and how to build a career doing work I believe in.” - Sondra Spaulding, 2006 New Leader
