Applications to intern with the Indiana House Republicans during the 2018 legislative session are due Oct. 31, according to State Rep. Woody Burton (R-Whiteland).
The House Republican Internship Program offers paid, spring-semester internships at the Indiana Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis. These are full-time positions, Monday through Friday, lasting from January through mid-March. According to Burton, college-level students participating in the internship program work one-on-one with state legislators while developing valuable skills and connections for a professional career.
“Interning with the Indiana House Republicans often opens up the door to a career, whether it be within state government or the private sector,” Burton said. “Making lasting connections, building your resume and growing professionally are all key to being successful in today’s highly competitive job market. Interested students and recent graduates should apply for this one-of-a-kind internship before the Oct. 31 deadline.”
College sophomores, juniors and seniors, graduate or law students, and recent graduates of all majors are eligible. Students can apply for internships in a variety of areas, focusing on legislative, communications, video production, policy, fiscal policy and technology. Along with getting paid $750 every two weeks, students can earn academic credit through their college or university.
When submitting an application, students must also include an official transcript, resume and two letters of recommendation. Burton said top applicants will demonstrate strong writing skills, have a positive attitude and be willing to work in a fast-paced environment.
