Interns are an important part of the office structure, and they are responsible for a variety of essential tasks. Internship applicants must have strong written and verbal communication skills. In addition, applicants must have a strong work ethic, an understanding of commitment, and the ability to work independently on complex tasks.

Deadlines for Wisconsin internship applications in Milwaukee and Madison are: August 1 for fall semester, December 1 for spring semester and April 1 for summer.

The internship programs are competitive and it is recommended that prospective interns contact the appropriate state Senate office early in the semester prior to their desired internship.  If you are interested in an internship in either the Milwaukee or Madison offices, please return the application along with your résumé, cover letter, and semester schedule to the office at which you are applying.  If you are interested in doing an internship in Milwaukee, please also include a writing sample.  Further information regarding the internships can be found here.  Please contact Kate Sternke, Milwaukee Office Intern Coordinator, or Joylynn Gilles, Madison Office Intern Coordinator, if you have additional questions.

For information regarding an internship in the Appleton, Eau Claire, or La Crosse offices please contact that office directly.
