STATEHOUSE (Sept. 15, 2022) – Clark County legislators invite local college students and recent graduates of all majors to apply for a paid internship with Indiana House Republicans.
State Rep. Zach Payne (R-Charlestown) 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.
"It's very exciting to meet and work with interns at the Statehouse each year," Payne said. "Students are really a part of our team that's working hard on behalf of Hoosiers and our state. It's a unique and rewarding opportunity, and I hope to see many local college students and recent grads apply."
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. Karen Engleman (R-Georgetown), 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.
"When preparing to enter a career field, it's important to gain workplace experience and apply your skills," Engleman said. "Interning at the Statehouse is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself and learn a lot about state government, policy and so much more."
"Interning with the Indiana House of Representatives offers Hoosier college students and recent graduates great opportunities to work in a professional setting as they prepare to enter the competitive job market," said State Rep. J. Michael Davisson. "Students can learn valuable skills to help carry them into the future, all while getting paid."
