STATEHOUSE (Sept. 21, 2022) – State Reps. Bruce Borders (R-Jasonville) and Matt Hostettler (R-Patoka) invite local college students and recent graduates of all majors to apply for a paid internship with Indiana House Republicans.
Borders said House interns will be paid $800 bi-weekly as they work at the Indiana Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis during the 2023 legislative session, which kicks off in January and concludes at the end of April. He said internships are available in several departments and are open to college sophomores, juniors and seniors, graduate students and recent graduates.
"I've had the privilege of working with many interns who've gone on to full-time positions with the Indiana General Assembly, state agencies and so many other places," Borders said. "This program is a great way to build connections with leaders from across Indiana and boost your resume to help you stand out from other jobseekers."
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.
According to Hostettler, 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.
"Many hardworking, successful people began their careers as an intern with the Indiana House of Representatives," Hostettler said. "Whether you're looking to go into the private sector or public service, this internship can help you build the foundation for your future."
