STATEHOUSE (Aug. 30, 2023) – Local lawmakers are seeking interns to join them at the Statehouse during the 2024 legislative session.
According to State Rep. Bob Cherry (R-Greenfield), 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 Statehouse internship is truly a one-of-a-kind experience," Cherry said. "Interns get a firsthand look at the legislative process, and opportunities to build upon their skills, which will give them leg up when applying for jobs."
State Rep. Cory Criswell (R-Middletown) said House internships are open to college students and recent graduates of all majors.
"Internships are often a key aspect of a student's resume as they look to start their career," Criswell said. "The skills gained and connections made during the legislative session can make all the difference when job searching. I encourage all Hoosier students in our community to apply for this great opportunity."
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.
"Internships are critical to developing time management, communication and writing skills that will be used in any career," said State Rep. Chris Jeter (R-Fishers). "I encourage students to apply for this opportunity where they will build their resumes and make lifelong professional connections."
According to Jeter, 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.
Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
