STATEHOUSE (Sept. 6, 2023) – Local lawmakers are seeking interns to join them at the Statehouse during the 2024 legislative session.
According to State Rep. Sharon Negele (R-Attica), House interns will be paid $900 bi-weekly as they work in downtown Indianapolis during session, which starts in January and concludes mid-March.
"Statehouse internships allow students to explore career opportunities and develop talents that can help them in the future," Negele said. "These positions provide ways to dive into several different industries and career paths while learning and developing professionally."
State Rep. Michael Aylesworth (R-Hebron) said House internships are open to college students and recent graduates of all majors.
"Interning at the Statehouse is a unique experience that provides several learning opportunities for students," Aylesworth said. "By working with lawmakers and managing important responsibilities like tracking bills and writing media releases, students have an opportunity to build on their skills."
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.
"No matter your major, those who are preparing to launch their careers are invited to apply and join our team," said State Rep. Kendell Culp (R-Rensselaer). "There are valuable professional skills that House interns develop, like communication, organization and prioritization, and I hope students and recent grads from our area apply and take advantage of the opportunity."
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.
