Sterling Corp

Sterling is looking for enthusiastic and motivated public relations and political interns to assist with a variety of client projects. We can offer real, practical experience for our interns.

Sterling interns also have a head start in gaining employment after graduation. Sterling’s strong connections with the Governor’s office, Senate Majority Leader and House Speaker – as well as our GOP Congressional delegation – will be leveraged to help our interns find optimal employment.

The types of assignments our interns receive include the following:

For public relations interns:

• Drafting and issuing news releases
