STATEHOUSE (Oct. 13, 2021) – State Reps. Bruce Borders (R-Jasonville) and Matt Hostettler (R-Patoka) encourage local college students and recent graduates to apply online for internships at the Indiana Statehouse before the Oct. 31 deadline.
According to Borders, 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.
"No matter the major, students can apply what they've learned in school to our internship and build on those skills," Borders said. "Many of our interns have used this experience as a springboard to landing a great job."
Hostettler 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.
"I encourage students to apply for this unique opportunity where they will build their resumes and make lifelong professional connections," Hostettler said. "The people you meet as an intern will truly help you on your career path."
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. Hostettler 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.
