In our commitment to innovation and advanced technological solutions, Northwestern Mutual recognizes that students can bring a great deal of insight and intelligence to the Information Systems department. We have designed a solid internship program that challenges students and provides them with real-life work experiences, to broaden their skills and give them a taste of the challenges and rewards a career in Information Systems offers. Responsibilities Your initial responsibility as an intern in the Information Systems department is to complete our comprehensive training course, IS Foundations. This course introduces you to the key IS processes, organizational units and functions, and technical development platforms. Work assignments attempt to make use of your existing technical skills.
Additional training is provided if deemed appropriate.
Upon successful completion of the training program, you will be assigned to a business application group within your designated area of IS to perform regular job responsibilities for the balance of your tenure at Northwestern Mutual. The potential exists for part-time and summer work following a successful internship. Assignments Assist in the development and testing involved in redesigning a major business system, such as the Agents Commission Payment System, the Sales Reporting System or the Policy Benefits System. Participate in the modification and testing of an existing business system to accommodate the requirements of a new insurance or disability insurance product. Develop computer programs to provide various management information reports on different aspects of investment or insurance operations.
