STATEHOUSE (Oct. 19, 2022) – Local lawmakers encourage college students and recent graduates to apply for a paid Statehouse internship before the Oct. 31 deadline.
State Rep. Jim Lucas (R-Seymour) said college sophomores, juniors and seniors, as well as recent graduates and graduate students of all majors can apply for an internship with the Indiana House of Representatives. House interns will be paid $800 bi-weekly while working at the Indiana Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis during the 2023 legislative session, starting in January and concluding at the end of April.
"This is a rewarding internship for all majors, and now is the time to get those applications in so that you, too, can benefit from the unique experience," Lucas said. "Interns will have the incredible opportunity to network with state leaders, Hoosier employers and others, which could open doors for future employment opportunities."
State Rep. Chris May (R-Bedford) said interested Hoosiers should visit indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and complete the application before Oct. 31. Intern interviews are currently taking place to fill positions in legislative operations, policy, and communications and media relations departments.
"Students from a variety of majors can use what they've learned in this internship and apply it in their future careers," May said. "Those seeking an opportunity to strengthen their resume and establish professional contacts should consider applying before the deadline."
"Lawmakers and staff greatly benefit from the talent that interns bring during session," said State Rep. J. Michael Davisson (R-Salem). "We're always looking for driven students to help fill our ranks, so apply as soon as possible to join an amazing team."
Internships 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.
