Applications to intern with Indiana House Republicans for the 2025 legislative session are now open, according to State Reps. Cindy Ledbetter (R-Newburgh) and Tim O'Brien (R-Evansville).

Ledbetter stated that the Indiana House of Representatives offers a spring semester internship at the Statehouse in Indianapolis during the legislative session, which will start in January and conclude in April. House interns earn $900 biweekly and work full-time, Monday through Friday.

"The internship program at the Statehouse can open many doors to a professional career," Ledbetter said. "It’s an excellent opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in the real world while earning money and college credit."

O'Brien mentioned that internships are available to college students and recent graduates of all majors. Interns receive free parking, career and professional development assistance, enrollment access to an Indiana government class, and opportunities to earn academic credits through their college or university.

"The Indiana Statehouse is a great place to build connections that can help interns achieve their career goals," O'Brien said. "The internship can lead to a job in state government or a variety of other fields."
