STATEHOUSE (Oct. 8, 2021) – State Reps. Brad Barrett (R-Richmond) and Tom Saunders (R-Lewisville) encourage local college students and recent graduates to apply online for internships at the Indiana Statehouse before the Oct. 31 deadline.
According to Barrett, the House of Representatives offers paid spring internships to college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students and recent graduates of all majors. Interns will work at the Statehouse in Indianapolis for the duration of the 2022 legislative session lasting January through mid-March.
"Students and recent graduates shouldn't hesitate to apply for this unique opportunity," Barrett said. "An internship with our Indiana House Republican team can open many doors to great full-time job opportunities."
Saunders said interns work full time, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Spring-semester internships are available in several departments working with Indiana House Republicans.
"Over the course of the legislative session, interns will see firsthand how the General Assembly works while learning how lawmakers serve their constituents," Saunders said. "Don't wait to apply to this one-of-a-kind internship. The skills developed through this experience can serve you well no matter what career path you choose."
Positions are available in the Legislative Operations Department where interns work directly with constituents and help track legislative committee activity. The Communications Department is looking for interns to help write press releases, and work with social media campaigns, graphic design and audio/video production. Saunders said the Policy Department is also in need of interns to help research, track and analyze legislation.
Interns receive biweekly compensation of $750, free parking, career and professional development support, and enrollment access to an Indiana government class. They can also earn academic credit through their college or university and are eligible to apply for a $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.
