STATEHOUSE (Sept. 15, 2022) – State Reps. Donna Schaibley (R-Carmel) and Jeff Thompson (R-Lizton) invite local college students and recent graduates of all majors to apply for a paid internship with Indiana House Republicans.
Schaibley 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. She 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 way for students to build real-world skills on top of what they're learning in the classroom," Schaibley said. "This internship can open doors to numerous opportunities, and I encourage local students to consider applying."
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 Thompson, 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.
"No matter what your major is or degree earned, you can use your knowledge and learn more in a variety of roles," Thompson said. "From media relations and constituent services to policy research, this internship is beneficial for students no matter their career goals."
