STATEHOUSE – State Reps. Chris May (R-Bedford) and J. Michael Davisson (R-Salem) encourage college students and recent graduates to apply for a paid Statehouse internship before the Oct. 31 deadline.
May 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.
“Students from a variety of majors can use what they’ve learned in this internship and apply it in their future careers,” May said. “Those seeking an opportunity to strengthen their resume and establish professional contacts should consider applying before the deadline.”
Davisson 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, communications, and media relations departments.
“Lawmakers and staff greatly benefit from the talent that interns bring during the session,” Davisson said. “We’re always looking for driven students to help fill our ranks, so apply as soon as possible to join an amazing team.”
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.
