STATEHOUSE (Sept. 30, 2016) — State Rep. Tim Wesco (R-Osceola) and fellow Republican members of the Indiana House of Representatives are seeking interns for the upcoming 2017 legislative session, which runs from January through April.

“Internships are key when trying to enter today’s competitive job market,” Wesco said. “Many staff members with the House of Representative began their careers as interns. Others put the skills they honed — like time management, multi-tasking and writing — to use in the private sector.”

College sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students, law students and recent graduates are eligible to apply. Benefits include a bi-weekly compensation of $700 and opportunities to earn academic credits and a scholarship.

Wesco said these are full-time positions, Monday through Friday, with a typical work day starting at 8:30 a.m. 

Internships are available in various departments, including legislative, communications, technology, fiscal policy and policy.

The deadline to apply is Oct. 31. For more information and to submit applications, visit www.indianahouserepublicans.com/internship.
