INDIANAPOLIS — Area lawmakers are seeking interns to join them at the Statehouse during the 2024 legislative session.

According to state Rep. David Abbott, R-Rome City, House interns will be paid $900 biweekly as they work in downtown Indianapolis during the session, which starts in January and concludes mid-March.

“Internships are how many people launch their careers,” Abbott said. “This program helps young professionals strengthen their resumes so that they stand out from other job candidates, and it opens doors to working in both the private and public sectors.”

State Rep. Craig Snow, R-Warsaw, said House internships are open to college students and recent graduates of all majors.

“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.”

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 Tuesday, Oct. 31.
