Ohio Secretary of State Internship Program
Looking for an internship that makes a difference? Interested in politics? Learn from the best elections and business administration teams in the country! Don’t believe us? During the most challenging election year in history, Ohio ran its most secure and accessible election ever. We got that done while also helping new entrepreneurs create the highest number of new businesses ever in one year.
This was made possible by our elections, legal, outreach, communications, finance, information technology, and other teams that together work toward the same goal: to deliver a thriving democracy and a prosperous economy for all Ohioans.
The Ohio Secretary of State’s office is charged with ensuring Ohio’s voting process, recently called “the gold standard,” is secure, accurate and accessible. We also serve as the sole authority to receive and approve articles of incorporation for Ohio businesses. This duty provides a unique opportunity in government to make a difference statewide while impacting issues nationwide.
Students exploring careers in political science, law, communications, business, IT and finance, to name a few, can gain valuable experience while earning course credits.
We are looking for both part-time and full-time students to fill multiple roles as interns in the Secretary of State's Office that can work at least twenty hours or three days a week. If selected, we will work with your schedule so you get the most out of your time in our office!
Ready to make a difference by helping Ohioans make their voice heard or start and grow their own business? Hoping to do a lot more than just answer phones and open mail? Join our team!
