STATEHOUSE (Oct. 10, 2024) – The Oct. 31 deadline to apply for an Indiana House Republican internship during the 2025 legislative session is fast approaching, according to State Reps. Jim Pressel (R-Rolling Prairie) and Jake Teshka (R-North Liberty).
Pressel said this full-time, spring semester internship is Monday through Friday at the Statehouse in Indianapolis during the legislative session, which will start in January and conclude in April. House interns earn $900 biweekly and can gain academic credit through their college or university.
"With opportunities in a variety of departments, there is something for all students and recent graduates," Pressel said. "To be competitive in today's job market, having a strong internship experience can set you apart from your peers, and that's exactly what this internship can help you do."
Teshka said interested college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students and recent graduates of all majors should visit indianahouserepublicans.com/internship to complete the application before Oct. 31.
"As a former intern, I was able to see and experience how the legislative process works, which was incredibly rewarding," Teshka said. "Interns will walk away with a new perspective on state government and see how laws affect Hoosiers."
Indiana House internships include free parking, career and professional development assistance, and enrollment access to an Indiana government class. Interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.
The program offers opportunities for students to work in various departments related to their studies, including legislative operations, policy and communications.
Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
