STATEHOUSE (Oct. 12, 2021) – Bartholomew County lawmakers encourage local college students and recent graduates to apply online for internships at the Indiana Statehouse before the Oct. 31 deadline.
According to State Rep. Sean Eberhart (R-Shelbyville), 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.
"Anyone looking for an internship that provides a meaningful and rewarding experience should apply for this program," Eberhart said. "This is a chance for students to develop their skills and grow their professional network."
State Rep. Ryan Lauer (R-Columbus) 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.
"Our interns make connections with leaders from across Indiana, and they can see how we are all impacted by policies covering education, health care, agriculture, and so much more," Lauer said. "With the deadline quickly approaching, those interested should apply today."
State Rep. Jim Lucas (R-Seymour) said 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. The Policy Department is also in need of interns to help research, track and analyze legislation.
"Whether you're interested in communicating directly with constituents or the media, or you enjoy conducting in-depth research, there is something for everyone in our internship program," Lucas said. "Now is the time to apply online and start the process before the deadline passes."
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.
