STATEHOUSE (Aug. 19, 2021) – Whether studying economics, telecommunications or history, State Reps. Craig Snow (R-Warsaw) and Curt Nisly (R-Milford) said local college students and recent graduates can gain valuable hands-on work experience by interning with Indiana House Republicans at the Statehouse in Indianapolis.
"Internships are great opportunities for young adults just entering the workforce to develop themselves professionally," Snow said. "The Statehouse is a unique place for interns to hone their skills and strengthen their resumes as they work alongside lawmakers and experts in just about every field, all while earning a paycheck."
According to Nisly, internship positions are open to college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students and recent graduates of all majors. Students can apply for internships in a variety of departments related to their field of study, including legislative operations, communications and media relations, policy and fiscal policy.
"Interns are paired with full-time staff based on their interests and skills so they can gain experience relevant to their career ambitions," Nisly said. "I encourage local students and recent graduates interested in this program to apply as soon as possible."
Interns will work at the Statehouse in Indianapolis for the duration of the 2022 legislative session, which kicks off in January and concludes mid-March. The paid, spring-semester positions are full time, Monday through Friday. Interns receive biweekly compensation of $750, free parking, career and professional development assistance, enrollment access to an Indiana government class, and can earn academic credit through their college or university. Interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.
