Internships

The office of Senator Lieberman offers internship opportunities year-round for qualified college students. The program is offered in both our state office in Hartford, Connecticut, and in our Washington, D.C. office. See links below and at left.

The intent of the program is to offer college students an opportunity to observe and participate in the workings of the United States Senate through full or part-time work in one of our offices. Interns rapidly become an integral part of the office and are offered opportunities to assist professional staff in legislative, press, administrative, and constituent service activities.

Interns can expect to spend approximately fifty percent of their time handling routine administrative and clerical duties and the other fifty percent of their time on more substantive activities. Applicants who are available on a full time basis receive preference for the summer session. There are also opportunities during both the Fall and Spring semesters. On the whole, our goal is to offer as rewarding an experience as possible, while fulfilling the existing needs of the office.

To apply for an internship in Senator Lieberman's offices in either Washington, D.C., or Connecticut, please fill out the intern application (click here) and mail it along with 2 letters of recommendation and a personal statement of maximum 500 words on your expectations and goals for the internship.
