STATEHOUSE (Oct. 22, 2024) – The Oct. 31 deadline to apply for an Indiana House Republican internship during the 2025 legislative session is fast approaching, according to area lawmakers.
State Rep. Ryan Lauer (R-Columbus) said this full-time, spring semester internship is Monday through Friday at the Statehouse in Indianapolis during the legislative session, which will start in January and conclude in April. House interns earn $900 biweekly and can gain academic credit through their college or university.
"This internship is an excellent steppingstone to a future career in both the private and public sectors," Lauer said. "It's an opportunity that offers work experience and training that can help students far into the future."
State Rep. Jennifer Meltzer (R-Shelbyville) said interested college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students and recent graduates of all majors should visit indianahouserepublicans.com/internship to complete the application before Oct. 31.
"Internships give Hoosier students valuable opportunities to practice and hone their skills before moving into the workforce," Meltzer said. "By taking part in a House internship, they can gain real-world experience while also earning money."
State Rep. Jim Lucas (R-Seymour) said Indiana House internships include free parking, career and professional development assistance, and enrollment access to an Indiana government class. Interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.
"Having work experience on your resume can make a huge difference when applying for jobs," Lucas said. "Interning at the Statehouse is a great way for students to learn, get paid and skill up for their future careers."
Lucas said the program offers opportunities for students to work in various departments related to their studies, including legislative operations, policy and communications.
Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
