STATEHOUSE (Sept. 7, 2023) – Local lawmakers are seeking interns to join them at the Statehouse during the 2024 legislative session.
According to State Rep. Dave Hall (R-Norman), House interns will be paid $900 bi-weekly as they work in downtown Indianapolis during session, which starts in January and concludes mid-March.
"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."
State Rep. Bob Heaton (R-Terre Haute) said House internships are open to college students and recent graduates of all majors.
"This paid internship is a great way for young Hoosiers to develop skills that will help them in any professional setting," Heaton said. "It's also an opportunity to meet and work alongside leaders from across the state."
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.
"It's always great to see local students take advantage of this opportunity to work with lawmakers and state officials in a professional environment like the legislative session," said State Rep. Peggy Mayfield (R-Martinsville). "For many of them, this internship led to promising careers in both state government and the private sector."
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.
