STATEHOUSE (Sept. 2, 2022) – State Reps. Mike Karickhoff (R-Kokomo) and Heath VanNatter (R-Kokomo) invite local college students and recent graduates of all majors to apply for a paid internship with Indiana House Republicans.
Karickhoff 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.
"Internships are a great opportunity for students to expand their professional network and gain hands-on experience," Karickhoff said. "They can build on these connections and the skills they learn as they prepare to launch a career."
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 VanNatter, 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 at the Statehouse offers young Hoosiers the opportunity to gain meaningful work experience, build their resumes and make professional connections," VanNatter said. "I hope to see more local students join us during the upcoming legislative session."
