WASHINGTON—Congressman Scott Tipton’s office is now accepting applications for its spring semester internship program.  Opportunities are available in the Washington, DC, and district offices.

“Having the opportunity to learn firsthand how America’s government works is a valuable and rewarding experience for interns,” said Tipton . “Interns work as part of a team that interacts daily with constituents from the 3rd Congressional District.  All interns will learn about current legislation on the House floor and about the legislative process, as they assist me and members of the staff with research, communication and administrative functions. Many previous interns have gone on to find jobs in their communities and in Washington following their time in our office, and we are proud of all of their accomplishments so far. We look forward to meeting our next class of interns.”

Internships in Congressman Tipton’s Washington office are designed to provide valuable experience and interaction with our federal legislative process. Responsibilities vary based on location, and include but are not limited to: providing tours of the Capitol, answering phones, helping staff process constituent’s mail and inquiries. Other responsibilities may include assisting staff with legislative research and writing and attending public meetings, briefings and committee hearings. Candidates should have an interest in the legislative process, should be motivated, organized and reliable, and possess strong communication and writing skills.
