STATEHOUSE (Sept. 26, 2022) – Allen County legislators invite local college students and recent graduates of all majors to apply for a paid internship with Indiana House Republicans.
State Rep. Martin Carbaugh (R-Fort Wayne) said House interns will be paid $800 bi-weekly as they work at the Indiana Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis during the 2023 legislative session, which kicks off in January and concludes at the end of April. He said internships are available in several departments and are open to college sophomores, juniors and seniors, graduate students and recent graduates.
"Internships sometimes lead to full-time employment, and many of our staffers – even legislators – are former interns," Carbaugh said. "It's a great way to see if someone is the right fit for a potential opening with our Statehouse staff. We're always building for the future, and this program is a great stepping stone for students looking for a rewarding career."
Paid, spring-semester intern positions are full time, Monday through Friday, and include free parking, career and professional development assistance, enrollment access to an Indiana government class, and opportunities to earn academic credits through the student's college or university. Interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.
According to State Rep. Dave Heine (R-Fort Wayne), students can apply for internships in a variety of departments related to their field of study, including legislative operations, policy, and communications and media relations.
"The Statehouse is an exceptional place to apply classroom knowledge in a professional environment," Heine said. "Interns sharpen tools they already possess and leave with a few more. It's a unique experience that's hard to find anywhere else."
"Employers are searching for people who not only have the required education and training, but also know-how," said State Rep. Bob Morris (R-Fort Wayne). "This internship provides all of that and so much more."
