STATEHOUSE (Oct. 19, 2021) – Madison County legislators encourage local college students and recent graduates to apply online for internships at the Indiana Statehouse before the Oct. 31 deadline.
According to State Rep. Bob Cherry (R-Greenfield), the House of Representatives offers paid spring internships to college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students and recent graduates of all majors. Interns will work at the Statehouse in Indianapolis for the duration of the 2022 legislative session lasting January through mid-March.
"Time is running out for a chance to intern with House Republicans," Cherry said. "Students and recent graduates should take advantage of this opportunity to utilize what they've learned in the classroom and discover a wide variety of possibilities available to them after college."
State Rep. Tony Cook (R-Cicero) said interns work full time, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Spring-semester internships are available in several departments working with Indiana House Republicans.
"Interns get to network with lawmakers, business owners and other professionals from across Indiana," Cook said. "They can build on these connections and the new skills they learn as they prepare to launch their careers in a number of different fields. No matter your interests, interning with Indiana House Republicans can open doors to many possibilities."
Positions are available in the Legislative Operations Department where interns work directly with constituents and help track legislative committee activity. The Communications Department is looking for interns to help write press releases, and work with social media campaigns, graphic design and audio/video production. State Rep. Elizabeth Rowray (R-Yorktown) said the Policy Department is also in need of interns to help research, track and analyze legislation.
"House interns have a unique opportunity to get a professional boost and build their resumes during their internship at the Statehouse," Rowray said. "Now is the time to send in applications and secure your spot."
Interns receive biweekly compensation of $750, free parking, career and professional development support, and enrollment access to an Indiana government class. They can also earn academic credit through their college or university and are eligible to apply for a $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.
