Legislative Internship - Fall 2024

Description

Hannah IndianaNet (a division of Hannah News Service-Midwest) is offering a unique internship opportunity in the legislative arena. Most legislative internships require full-time, semester long commitments. Hannah IndianaNet will consider interns able to work as few as 10 hours per week up to 40 hours per week. The experience, regardless of hours worked, will last a lifetime and may very well serve as a foot-in-the-door to a career in government affairs.

The Hannah internship experience

Interns with Hannah IndianaNet will learn much about the legislative process.

Work hours for this internship are very flexible but all applicants MUST submit their availability and total number of desired hours with résumé. Applicants not submitting this information will not be considered.

Hannah as your gateway

Hannah IndianaNet has designed this opportunity with input from the most prominent law firms and government affairs professionals in Indiana. These include Bose Public Affairs Group, Ice Miller, Faegre Drinker and The Corydon Group. In addition to helping build the program, these firms have agreed to provide interviews and strong consideration to any successful participant in the Hannah program who applies for a subsequent legislative internship with their firm.

Former Hannah News interns are currently working at the highest levels of public affairs in both the public and private sectors. Three of our interns from Indiana alone have been hired by Hannah News full time upon graduating from college or, in one case, several years later.

- Distributing information to Hannah News Staff and external audiences.
