STATEHOUSE (Aug. 31, 2022) – State Reps. Ann Vermilion (R-Marion) and Mike Karickhoff (R-Kokomo) invite local college students and recent graduates of all majors to apply for a paid internship with Indiana House Republicans.
Vermilion 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.
"A quality internship can be hard to find," Vermilion said. "House Republicans offer students a behind-the-scenes look at how state government operates and how laws in our state are made. It's a really unique and rewarding experience. Students and recent grads shouldn’t pass up this opportunity to get paid, earn college credit and strengthen their resumes."
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 Karickhoff, 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.
"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."
