Legislative / Pre-Law Internship - Spring 2018
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 7 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 will 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 Baker Daniels 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.
“Participating in the Hannah IndianaNet program is a great way to learn the legislative industry and take that first step toward a career in government affairs,” said Trevor Vance, Senior VP at Bose Public Affairs. “It was my first internship with the House that got me in the door. We look forward to interviewing alumni from Hannah’s program for our own internship positions”
