STATEHOUSE (Oct. 24, 2017) – Applications to intern with the Indiana House Republicans during the 2018 legislative session are due Oct. 31, according to State Rep. Todd Huston (R-Fishers).
The House Republican Internship Program offers paid, spring-semester internships at the Indiana Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis. These are full-time positions, Monday through Friday, lasting from January through mid-March. According to Huston, college-level students participating in the internship program work one-on-one with state legislators while developing valuable skills and connections for a professional career.
“Interns have the unique opportunity to see firsthand how laws are made in Indiana, and help staff and lawmakers with day-to-day tasks,” Huston said. “They gain valuable experience working closely with the legislators and their staff. Interning for the House opens doors to full-time employment, whether that is with state government or the private sector.”
College sophomores, juniors and seniors, graduate or law students, and recent graduates of all majors are eligible. Students can apply for internships in a variety of areas, focusing on legislative, communications, video production, policy, fiscal policy and technology. Along with getting paid $750 every two weeks, students can earn academic credit through their college or university.
When submitting an application, students must also include an official transcript, resume and two letters of recommendation. Huston said top applicants will demonstrate strong writing skills, have a positive attitude and be willing to work in a fast-paced environment.
