STATEHOUSE (Sept. 21, 2022) – Hendricks County legislators invite local college students and recent graduates of all majors to apply for a paid internship with Indiana House Republicans.
State Rep. Greg Steuerwald (R-Avon) 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.
"Once the legislative session begins, our work escalates as newly proposed legislation moves through the process, and we welcome interns to the team to help us manage important tasks," Steuerwald said. "With this experience, interns can strengthen their resumes and portfolios, build their network and gain confidence to take them to the next level."
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. Jeff Thompson (R-Lizton), 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.
"No matter what your major is or degree earned, you can use your knowledge and learn more in a variety of roles," Thompson said. "From media relations and constituent services to policy research, this internship is beneficial for students no matter their career goals."
"This program offers a front-row seat to the state's lawmaking process, and the ability to make professional connections and learn skills that are beneficial in any career," said State Rep. Bob Behning (R-Indianapolis). "College students and new grads should consider applying for this unique opportunity."
