The internship program allows students to participate in the daily operations of a Constitutional office, particularly as we transition the office through a modernization process. Interns are expected to work at least 8-12 hours a week through the end of the semester. They will be expected to be able to work during a morning shift from 8am-noon or an afternoon shift from 1-4:30pm. While this is an unpaid internship, students will learn valuable skills and can potentially earn academic credit.
The Office of the Secretary of State is now accepting applications for fall interns! Please send your resume and cover letter to statesec@wisconsin.gov.
