STATEHOUSE (Aug. 16, 2021) – Whether studying economics, telecommunications or history, Pike County lawmakers 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.
"During this unique experience, interns directly interact with local and state leaders, while also learning more about Indiana's lawmaking process," said State Rep. Cindy Ledbetter (R-Newburgh). "Interns develop new skills and professional connections that help them achieve success as they launch their careers."
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 given important responsibilities and tasks to manage throughout the legislative session, which is our most busy time as a legislature as we conduct committee hearings and vote on new laws," said State Rep. Shane Lindauer (R-Jasper). "It's no surprise that so many House interns find meaningful employment after graduation and quite a few earn full-time positions with our team."
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.
