STATEHOUSE (Sept. 5, 2023) – Local lawmakers are seeking interns to join them at the Statehouse during the 2024 legislative session.
According to State Rep. Craig Snow (R-Warsaw), House interns will be paid $900 bi-weekly as they work in downtown Indianapolis during session, which starts in January and concludes mid-March.
"Through this internship, students are able to network with state lawmakers and other business professionals across Indiana," Snow said. "This is a great opportunity to develop relationships that can lead to careers."
State Rep. Lorissa Sweet (R-Wabash) said House internships are open to college students and recent graduates of all majors.
"Students who intern will be using the knowledge they've gained in the classroom, and applying it in a professional setting," Sweet said. "They will be able to gain on-the-job experience, which helps them build their skillset and 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.
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.
Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
