Faber
Announces Paid Statehouse
Fellowship Opportunity
COLUMBUS–
State Senator Keith Faber
(R-Celina) today announced that the Ohio Legislative Service Commission
is
accepting applications for its 13-month Legislative and
Telecommunications
Fellowship Program. The Commission will hire 20-plus fellows to work
with
members of the Ohio General Assembly during the 2014 calendar year.
"The
fellowship program is a
fantastic opportunity for young people to gain a better understanding
of public
policy and government," said Faber. "I continue to be impressed by
the high bar set by each new class of fellows and I'm always proud to
see their
success after completing the program."
Legislative
fellow duties include
assisting members of the Ohio General Assembly with constituent work,
writing
press releases and speeches, assisting in legislative research,
attending
meetings, and performing administrative duties. Telecommunications
fellows
assist in televising House and Senate proceedings and in preparing
educational
video productions about the General Assembly and the legislative
process.
The
fellowships are full-time, paid
positions. Fellows are paid $26,750 - $28,750 annually and are eligible
for
benefits applicable to other state employees.
Legislative
fellowship application
materials must be postmarked by April 1, 2013 to be considered for the
program.
The application deadline for the two telecommunications positions is
May 31,
2013. All applicants must have graduated from a four-year college
degree
program by the December 2013 start date.
Persons holding graduate or professional
degrees are also encouraged to
apply. The legislative fellowship program is open to graduates of all
major
fields of study who have a genuine interest in learning about state
government.
No prior political experience is required. The two telecommunications
fellows
must have majored or minored in a telecommunications-related field of
study or
have comparable experience.
