STATEHOUSE (Sept. 16, 2022) – State Reps. Jeff Ellington (R-Bloomfield) and Shane Lindauer (R-Jasper) invite local college students and recent graduates of all majors to apply for a paid internship with Indiana House Republicans.
Ellington 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.
"Paid internships offering hands-on and rewarding work experiences can be hard to find," Ellington said. "This program gives students a solid foundation for their resumes, including many skills that they can use in any profession."
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 Lindauer, 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.
"Interning is a great way to discover your passion and build your resume," Lindauer said. "Statehouse interns are an integral part of the team and play a big role in ensuring the legislative session runs smoothly."
