STATEHOUSE (Oct. 21, 2022) – State Reps. Cindy Ledbetter (R-Newburgh) and Tim O'Brien (R-Evansville) encourage college students and recent graduates to apply for a paid Statehouse internship before the Oct. 31 deadline.
Ledbetter said college sophomores, juniors and seniors, as well as recent graduates and graduate students of all majors can apply for an internship with the Indiana House of Representatives. House interns will be paid $800 bi-weekly while working at the Indiana Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis during the 2023 legislative session, starting in January and concluding at the end of April.
"This immersive, full-time internship is a great way to build job skills while earning money and earn college credit," Ledbetter said. "Interns make friendships and create professional connections that can last a lifetime."
O'Brien said interested Hoosiers should visit indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and complete the application before Oct. 31. Intern interviews are currently taking place to fill positions in legislative operations, policy, and communications and media relations departments.
"Our interns have the opportunity to join our Statehouse team and jump-start their careers," O'Brien said. "This one-of-a-kind program offers so many benefits to students, and a chance to learn more about state government."
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.
