STATEHOUSE (Oct. 26, 2023) – State Reps. Karen Engleman (R-Georgetown) and Zach Payne (R-Charlestown) encourage local college students and recent graduates to apply online for an internship at the Indiana Statehouse before the Oct. 31 deadline.
The House of Representatives offers paid spring internships to college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students and recent graduates of all majors. Interns will receive $900 biweekly while working at the Indiana Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis during the 2024 legislative session, which begins in January and concludes mid-March.
Engleman said interested Hoosiers should visit indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and complete the application before Oct. 31.
"Regardless of what a student's career interests are, this program can be a great step toward working in either the public or private sector," Engleman said. "No one should miss out on this amazing opportunity, so apply today."
Positions are available in legislative operations where interns work directly with constituents and help track committee activity. The communications department is looking for interns to help write press releases and email newsletters, and work with social media, graphic design and audio/video production. The policy department is also in need of interns to help research, track and analyze legislation.
"Students need some professional experiences outside of the classroom so that they are better prepared for the workforce and stand out in the application process," Payne said. "It's very easy to apply online and interviews are happening right now, so don't miss out on the chance to work at the Statehouse and be a part of the legislative process."
Internships 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.
