STATEHOUSE (Sept. 14, 2022) – Vigo County legislators invite local college students and recent graduates of all majors to apply for a paid internship with Indiana House Republicans.
State Rep. Bob Heaton (R-Terre Haute) 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. He said internships are available in several departments and are open to college sophomores, juniors and seniors, graduate students and recent graduates.
"Interning with Indiana House Republicans is a great opportunity for students and new graduates to apply what they've learned in the classroom to a professional setting," Heaton said. "I encourage local Hoosiers to apply for this rewarding experience."
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 State Rep. Alan Morrison (R-Brazil), 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.
"Regardless of major or career plans, interns can find many ways to utilize their talents and make a difference," Morrison said. "From writing and research to communicating with constituents, you'll learn new skills and improve existing ones that will serve you well in any future job."
"I've had the privilege of working with many interns who've gone on to full-time positions with the Indiana General Assembly, state agencies and so many other places," said State Rep. Bruce Borders (R-Jasonville). "This program is a great way to build connections with leaders from across Indiana and boost your resume to help you stand out from other jobseekers."
