The Oct. 31 deadline to apply for an Indiana House Republican internship during the 2025 legislative session is fast approaching, according to area lawmakers.
House Speaker Todd Huston (R-Fishers) said this full-time, spring semester internship is Monday through Friday at the Statehouse in Indianapolis during the legislative session, which will start in January and conclude in April. House interns earn $900 biweekly and can gain academic credit through their college or university.
“Developing skills through an internship is essential for young Hoosiers to gain experience and explore different careers,” Huston said. “No matter your major or job interest, a House Republican internship can be a launching point for your future.”
State Rep. Chris Jeter (R-Fishers) said interested college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students, and recent graduates of all majors should visit indianahouserepublicans.com/internship to complete the application before Oct. 31.
“Interns get to network with lawmakers, business owners and other professionals in the public and private sectors from around the state,” Jeter said. “I encourage students of all majors to apply now for this experience and opportunity to build their resume.”
State Rep. Chuck Goodrich (R-Noblesville) said Indiana House internships include free parking, career and professional development assistance, and enrollment access to an Indiana government class. Interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.
“Hands-on learning opportunities like internships not only boost students’ resumes, but also help them develop tangible skills that can translate to any career path,” Goodrich said. “This is a great opportunity for young Hoosiers to set them apart from other candidates in today’s highly competitive job market.”
State Rep. Donna Schaibley (R-Carmel) said the program offers opportunities for students to work in various departments related to their studies, including legislative operations, policy, and communications.
“This program provides unique opportunities for young professionals to develop their skills and learn more about different policy and public service,” Schaibley said. “Interns help full-time staff prepare documents, press releases and handouts that legislators can use when they meet with constituents and stakeholders to better inform their communities about the work being done at the Statehouse.”
“A strong education paired with an internship experience makes a graduate even more marketable to future employers,” State Rep. Jerry Torr (R-Carmel) said. “No matter your interests, interning with Indiana House Republicans can open doors to many possibilities in the public and private sectors.”
Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
