STATEHOUSE (Sept. 6, 2023) – Local lawmakers are seeking interns to join them at the Statehouse during the 2024 legislative session.
According to State Rep. Karen Engleman (R-Georgetown), House interns will be paid $900 bi-weekly as they work in downtown Indianapolis during session, which starts in January and concludes mid-March.
"For students looking to build their resumes, this internship will give them the tools to succeed," Engleman said. "The knowledge, skills and connections they get here will give them a head start on any career path."
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.
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.
State Rep. Zach Payne (R-Charlestown) said House internships are open to college students and recent graduates of all majors.
"Connecting and networking with others is a great way to find out about available careers," Payne said. "By meeting and working with legislators, staff, constituents and policy advocates, interns can build their professional network and lean on those contacts when job searching."
Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
