THE WISH WAY GOES WELL BEYOND POLITICAL DC INTERNSHIPS!

 

 

 

Smiths Group is seeking an intern for its Washington DC Government Relations office.

Smiths Group is one of the world’s leading technology companies which delivers products and services for security and inspections, medical, energy, communications, and engineered components markets. Smiths Group delivers these products through our five business divisions which are Smiths Detection, John Crane, Smiths Medical, Smiths Interconnect, and Flex-Tek.

Smiths Group businesses are rooted in the United States.  Four of Smiths Group’s five divisions are headquartered here, and overall the US accounts for roughly half the company’s people, capital base, and revenue.  With at least one major Smiths facility in 40 states, our businesses have been an integral part of American life for decades – securing jobs, creating new opportunities, boosting local economies and contributing to community life in many rich and varied ways.

As an intern in this office, you will be responsible for a variety of tasks including (but not limited to) attending committee hearings, analyzing government reports and documents, performing data entry, creating presentations and company articles, doing research for members of the office, attending relevant functions, and helping out with general office work. No prior experience is necessary, but basic typing and people skills, as well as, a proficiency in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are required.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking for government relations experience and a good resume builder. This is an unpaid internship; hours are flexible but looking for a minimum commitment of 16 hours a week.  Multiple candidates may be accepted.
