STATEHOUSE (Sept. X, 2022) – Bartholomew County legislators invite local college students and recent graduates of all majors to apply for a paid internship with Indiana House Republicans.
State Rep. Ryan Lauer (R-Columbus) 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.
"House internships are a great way for college students and recent graduates to build their skills and strengthen their resumes, all while getting paid," Lauer said. "The experience is very worthwhile, and I hope local students take the time to apply and benefit from the robust opportunity."
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. Jim Lucas (R-Seymour), 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.
"Finding your spot in the world and pursuing the career you want has to start somewhere, and interning with House Republicans is great place to begin," Lucas said. "From writing and researching to video production and photography, students from all backgrounds and majors can grow their skills as a House intern."
"As a parent, I understand how exciting it is for a child to work toward their career goals, and an internship can help pave the way," said State Rep. Sean Eberhart (R-Shelbyville). "Interning at the Statehouse is a great opportunity for local students to gain some confidence as they work in a full-time, fast-paced professional setting."
