STATEHOUSE (Aug. 23, 2021) – Whether studying economics, telecommunications or history, state lawmakers said local college students and recent graduates can gain valuable hands-on work experience by interning with Indiana House Republicans at the Statehouse in Indianapolis.
"Interning with Indiana House Republicans helps students develop valuable skills and make professional connections as they prepare to launch their careers," said State Rep. Elizabeth Rowray (R-Yorktown). "I encourage interested students to apply for this opportunity and not miss out."
According to Cook, internship positions are open to college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students and recent graduates of all majors. Students can apply for internships in a variety of departments related to their field of study, including legislative operations, communications and media relations, policy and fiscal policy.
"Our internship program provides multiple opportunities to learn new skills and work with community leaders from across the state," said State Rep. Tony Cook (R-Cicero). "Young professionals can explore career options and make lasting connections that often lead to a full-time job. No matter your interest, interning with the House Republican Caucus can open doors to many possibilities."
Interns will work at the Statehouse in Indianapolis for the duration of the 2022 legislative session, which kicks off in January and concludes mid-March. The paid, spring-semester positions are full time, Monday through Friday. Interns receive biweekly compensation of $750, free parking, career and professional development assistance, enrollment access to an Indiana government class, and can earn academic credit through their college or university. Interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.
"Students and recent graduates can intern in a department that best utilizes their majors, whether that's working in legislative operations, communications, policy or fiscal policy," said State Rep. Ann Vermilion (R-Marion). "With many colleges kicking off a new school year, now is the perfect time to apply and secure a spring internship."
"Interning is a great opportunity to build professional skills and network, all while getting paid," said State Rep. J.D. Prescott (R-Union City). "Applying online is very easy and interviews are ongoing, and I hope to see many interns from our community at the Statehouse this next year as we kick off the legislative session."
Prescott said to visit indianahouserepublicans.com/internship for more information and to apply before the Oct. 31 deadline.
