The House Republican Policy Committee (RPC), a House Republican
leadership office on Capitol Hill, is currently accepting applications for a
policy analysis internship for fall 2015 or spring 2016. Interns will assist
with research relating to the production of the Legislative Digest, a publicly available
policy product which provides a synopsis of every bill on the House floor. They
will also assist with the distribution of the Legislative Digest and basic data management, in addition to
preparation and set-up for RPC hearings, staff briefings, and member meetings.
Attention to detail and a willingness to learn about a variety of
legislative issues are crucial to a successful internship. Strong analytical, written
and oral communications skills are also necessary, as is the ability to work effectively
in a team.
Interns will have the opportunity to attend additional Congressional
hearings, workshops, and briefings, depending on their interests. Additionally,
interns may assist with the Chair’s personal office, on an as needed basis.
Here, interns may interact with constituents through phone calls, mail, and
tours.
This position offers a great educational opportunity for anyone
interested in working on Capitol Hill or in the federal government. College
students pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in political science, economics,
or policy analysis degree are encouraged to apply, as is anyone interested in
government.
This position is unpaid, though academic credit may be available through
your school. Full-time and part-time internships are available. Applications
will be considered on a rolling basis; however, internship openings are
limited, so apply early. Applicants should send a resume and a public
policy-related writing sample to John.Huston@mail.house.gov.
