STATEHOUSE (Aug. 2, 2018) – Indiana House Republicans are now accepting internship applications for the 2019 legislative session, which begins in January, according to State Rep. Heath VanNatter (R-Kokomo).
VanNatter said the House Republican Internship Program is a unique opportunity for college students and graduates to participate in state government and gain valuable hands-on experience. This paid internship at the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis takes place during the spring semester and gives students the chance to work one-on-one with state legislators.
“An internship is a great way to beef up a resume and show future employers that you bring a good set of professional skills to the table,” VanNatter said. “With the House Republican Internship Program, students can obtain work experience, develop new skills, and build valuable connections to help launch their career.”
Internship positions are open to college sophomores, juniors and seniors, graduate students, and recent graduates of all majors. Students can apply for internships in a variety of areas, focusing on legislative, communications and media relations, policy or fiscal policy.
These are full-time positions, Monday through Friday, lasting from January through April. In addition to biweekly compensation of $750, interns can earn academic credit through their college or university, and are eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate or graduate expenses.
More information about the House internship program and the application can be found at www.indianahouserepublicans.com/internship. VanNatter said the application deadline is Oct. 31.
