STATEHOUSE (Aug. 29, 2023) – Local lawmakers are seeking interns to join them at the Statehouse during the 2024 legislative session.
According to State Rep. Jim Lucas (R-Seymour), House interns will be paid $900 bi-weekly as they work in downtown Indianapolis during session, which starts in January and concludes mid-March.
"This is an excellent opportunity, and the Statehouse is a great place to develop skills and build lifelong connections," Lucas said. "Being an intern with us is more than just a part-time position, it's a transformational learning experience where students can launch their careers."
State Rep. Dave Hall (R-Norman) said House internships are open to college students and recent graduates of all majors.
"House interns come from all walks of life and areas of study," Hall said. "Whether they're assisting constituents, helping with media relations or working on policy, they'll get real-world training they can use in any career."
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.
"We've had many interns use this program as a stepping stone to successful jobs in both the public and private sectors," said State Rep. Chris May (R-Bedford). "With a limited number of available positions, interested students shouldn't wait to apply."
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.
