STATEHOUSE (Sept. 7, 2022) – State Reps. Bob Cherry (R-Greenfield) and Elizabeth Rowray (R-Yorktown) 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 work 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 Rowray, 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.
"An internship can make all the difference in today's ultra-competitive job market," Rowray said. "An internship at the Statehouse provides an opportunity for students to gain experience by applying their skills in a professional setting, which could give them an advantage over other candidates vying for the same position."
