Event Host: ASC Career Success
Jennifer Tock will discuss the Page and Internship programs with The Ohio House of Representatives. Currently the Ohio House of Representatives is searching for qualified undergraduate students to fill Legislative Page positions, which are paid. Paging for the legislature provides an opportunity for self-motivated, outgoing college students to gain an understanding of the legislative process by actively participating in it. The duties assigned to each intern will vary due to each office having different agendas and constituent caseloads. Legislative Pages often have extensive contact with the public when handling telephone calls for members' offices, delivering mail and messages, and greeting visitors to the House of Representatives. Typical Page assignments can include distributing documents, photocopying, retrieving materials from other governmental offices, and delivering messages between members. Working on the floor of the Ohio House of Representatives, Legislative Pages assist with the preparation for session, and provide a range of services to help members and their staff do their jobs properly and to facilitate the smooth functioning of the Legislature.
