STATEHOUSE (Aug. 31, 2022) – State Reps. Bob Cherry (R-Greenfield) and Chris Jeter (R-Fishers) invite local college students and recent graduates of all majors to apply for a paid internship with Indiana House Republicans.
Cherry 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.
"This internship is a unique opportunity for students to see the legislative process in action," Cherry said. "Our interns get to see behind the scenes, and assist lawmakers and professional staff with a variety of important tasks like constituent services, media relations and policy research. That's why we need hardworking, talented and motivated students to join our team."
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 Jeter, 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.
"Students with work experience, like an internship, enter the job market with an edge over their peers," Jeter said. "This is a great setting for young professionals to improve their resume and develop connections that could help them in the future."
