STATEHOUSE (Oct. 25, 2023) – Area 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. Dale DeVon (R-Granger) said interested Hoosiers should visit indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and complete the application before Oct. 31.
"The deadline to get involved and intern at the Statehouse is quickly approaching, so don't miss out on this opportunity," DeVon said. "I really hope that students and graduates from our area intern at the Statehouse, and it’s a great chance to get a first-hand look at how laws are made in our state."
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.
"My desire to serve as a state representative started when I interned at the Statehouse," said State Rep. Jake Teshka (R-North Liberty). "I was able to witness the legislative process firsthand, and learn more about how laws come to fruition and how legislators can work together to benefit Hoosiers."
"Interns are an integral part of our team each session, as they work with legislators and staff while building on their skills and resumes," said State Rep. Tim Wesco (R-Osceola). "The deadline is almost here, so don’t wait to apply."
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.
