How do you convert an information call with a director to an interview?

Have an upcoming call with a director. I am very interested in learning about his background and wonder how should I approach asking about internship opportunities? Should I ask him to help me get in touch with the analysts or associates responsible for recruiting or is that too straightforward? Thanks in advance.

I feel like he already knows that you want an internship if you cold emailed him. Every time I have gotten a response to my emails it’s either been “will forward to HR” or “ Happy to talk are you looking for an internship also?”
