LSC Internship

The Ohio General Assembly, through the Ohio Legislative Service Commission (LSC), has sponsored a legislative internship program for over forty years. The LSC sponsors twenty-four paid thirteen-month legislative internships designed to provide college graduates with practical experience in the legislative process. This experience often leads to permanent employment opportunities in the legislature, state government, or related areas.

Traditionally, twenty interns are assigned to work with the majority or minority party caucus in either the House or the Senate, with additional interns being placed with the LSC research and fiscal staff and The Ohio Channel (with parent company Ohio Government Telecommunications or OGT). Interns assigned to a caucus normally engage in research, constituent services, writing speeches and news releases, and related administrative work. Interns that work directly with the LSC staff draft legislation, perform legal or fiscal research, monitor sessions of the General Assembly, and attend committee hearings. The interns assigned to OGT work as production assistants, where they assist in televising legislative sessions and in the production of public service communications.

The internship program begins the first week in December of each year and continues through December 31 of the following year. The application period begins January 1 of every year. The application deadline for the legislative internships is April 1. The application deadline for the telecommunications internships is May 31. The only eligibility requirement an applicant must meet is the completion of a bachelor's degree program by December.
