What others say about the financial professional internship at Securian Financial

The internship program not only provided us (interns) with great resources and information, but it personally helped me transition into becoming a Financial Advisor. I was able to become familiar with various financial programs that Securian uses and got a lot of industry and product knowledge through the process. I never felt as if I was a burden on anyone, as the firm treated us all with the utmost respect and showed such a willingness to help us throughout the program.

My experience with the intern program was exactly what I needed to decide this was the career for me. It exposed me to different financial professional practices and highlighted just how much opportunity and freedom there is in the career.
