Opportunity to grow a professional career

Thomas Alexander of Walhalla, the State Senate president, took the opportunity yesterday to meet a young Anderson man embarking on a career somewhere in the professional world.  And for Alexander, the Oconee-Pickens senator, the meeting served for him to help mentor or coach a young person who shows promise of, perhaps, someday becoming a leader in his field.  Another way young people can start to get ahead is to consider an internship in a lawmaker’s office.  Such is the current case of U-S Senator Tim Scott.  The office of the South Carolina Republican is accepting applications for internships next spring in the senator’s offices in Washington, N. Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville.  The intern program offers undergraduate and graduate students the chance to work with public service professionals and gain practical experience in constituent services, government policy, and more.  Students of all majors, especially those studying government affairs, public policy or communications are welcome to apply at www.scott.senate.gov/constituent-services/internships.  For additional questions, contact the internship coordinator at [email protected] or (202) 224-6121.
