MOU status: DoD MOU current through May 26, 2027.

What these labels mean
MOU active
An MOU is the agreement between an employer and the SkillBridge program. When it expires, the employer has to renew it before it can take new service members.
MOU expires soon
The agreement ends within 90 days. That is not a reason to rule a program out. It is a reason to ask the employer where the renewal stands.
MOU expired
The date on the government listing has passed. We still show the program, because hiding it would shrink this directory in a way we could not explain. Confirm status with the employer before you apply.
MOU date not stated
The government listing carries no expiration date for this organization.
Detailed listing
The employer filled in most of its record: length, delivery method, eligibility, and a description of the work.
Partial listing
Some of those fields are filled in and some are blank.
Sparse listing
Very little of the record is filled in. That is common, and it is not a judgment about the program or the employer. It does mean you will have to ask them more questions directly.

Dates come from the government SkillBridge export. We do not screen, rank, or endorse organizations, and we take nothing from them.

About Northwestern Mutual - HQ

The company operates more than 360 offices and markets its products and services through independent contractor financial representatives. Its SkillBridge program spans 46 locations across 39 states, with remote and hybrid delivery also available.

Through the SkillBridge internship, participants work toward building a practice as a Financial Representative. The program runs 31 to 60 days and provides structured, on-the-job training alongside related instruction. Interns work to earn industry qualifications and certifications — including the SIE, Series 6, and Series 63 licenses — and receive training and resources aimed at identifying and developing a client market.

The company notes that successful SkillBridge participants begin in the role of financial representative. The title of Financial Advisor is not available until specified licensures and Northwestern Mutual coursework are completed. The independent contractor structure means the work arrangement differs from traditional salaried employment, a distinction the company's own materials flag for prospective participants.
