STATEHOUSE (Oct. 26, 2023) – Shelby County lawmakers encourage local college students and recent graduates to apply online for an internship at the Indiana Statehouse before the Oct. 31 deadline.
The House of Representatives offers paid spring internships to college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students and recent graduates of all majors. Interns will receive $900 biweekly while working at the Indiana Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis during the 2024 legislative session, which begins in January and concludes mid-March.
State Rep. Jennifer Meltzer (R-Shelbyville) said interested Hoosiers should visit indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and complete the application before Oct. 31.
"Intern positions are open to students with different backgrounds and varying interests," Meltzer said. "As interns work with members of the media, help constituents or research different topics, they will build their confidence, develop new skills and add to their portfolio of work."
Positions are available in legislative operations where interns work directly with constituents and help track committee activity. The communications department is looking for interns to help write press releases and email newsletters, and work with social media, graphic design and audio/video production. The policy department is also in need of interns to help research, track and analyze legislation.
"Opportunities abound for House Republican interns each session, from making career connections to learning invaluable skills," said State Rep. Cory Criswell (R-Middletown). "I encourage interested students to apply now to help ensure they are considered for this chance at a great internship and resume builder."
Internships 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.
"An internship with the Indiana House of Representatives helps students obtain work-related skills and experiences so they stand out in today's competitive job market," said State Rep. Robb Greene (R-Shelbyville). "With the application deadline quickly approaching, now is the time to apply online and not miss out on a unique Statehouse internship."
