STATEHOUSE (Aug. 29, 2023) – State Reps. Lori Goss-Reaves (R-Marion) and Mike Karickhoff (R-Kokomo) are seeking interns to join them at the Statehouse during the 2024 legislative session.
According to Goss-Reaves, House interns will be paid $900 bi-weekly as they work in downtown Indianapolis during session, which starts in January and concludes mid-March.
"The connections you build during college can make all the difference when starting a career of your own," Goss-Reaves said. "This internship is a great way to network with state lawmakers, policy advocates and private-sector employers."
Karickhoff said House internships are open to college students and recent graduates of all majors.
"The House Republican Internship Program can provide a steppingstone for young professionals preparing for the workforce," Karickhoff said. "Many interns use the experience to jumpstart their careers and join our team as a full-time staff member at the Statehouse, or work with other government agencies or land jobs in the private sector."
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 Karickhoff, students can apply for internships in a variety of departments related to their field of study, including legislative operations, policy, communications, and media relations.
Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
