The first set of interns in the Governor's Public Service Summer Internship Program began their summer jobs with the state on Monday, May 20, and the second group followed on June 3. During onboarding, each intern received an ID badge, completed their paperwork, and took part in a scavenger hunt using the app Goosechase. They also enjoyed a tour of the Statehouse, including visits to the courtrooms and both chambers

Filling out Paperwork

During onboarding, interns filled out paperwork and were given presentations on safety as well as things to do in Indianapolis and discounts offered to state employees.
