The Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington DC is expanding to encourage undergraduates from diverse backgrounds to consider studying economics. Below are several ways in which students can be involved with outreach efforts at the Federal Reserve Board this semester.
Tuesday, March 22 at 1:30pm ET: Exploring Careers in Economics – At this event, Fed staff will welcome students nationwide via webcast to discuss career opportunities and diversity in economics. This is a great opportunity to learn about career paths within the Federal Reserve System. Students may register using the following link: https://www.federalreserve.gov/conferences/exploring-careers-in-economics-spring-2022.htm
We have recorded sessions available for viewing at https://www.federalreserve.gov/conferences/exploring-careers-in-economics.htm. Past keynote speakers include Governor Lael Brainard (Fall 2020), Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Raphael Bostic (Fall 2019), and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President Mary Daly (Spring 2019).
Economics Outreach – Educators and student organizations at high schools, colleges, and universities are welcome to reach out to learn how the Board can host an event at your institution or group. We offer EconConnections, presentations hosted by Board economists on econ-related topics, and Econ Outreach sessions that focus on our intern and research assistant recruitment, as well as our application and interview processes. Please email econoutreach@frb.gov for more information. You may find more information here: https://www.federalreserve.gov/careers-economics-outreach.htm
www.fedeconjobs.org – The Federal Reserve System’s portal for information on RA and internship opportunities at the Board and all 12 Reserve Banks has undergone a recent refresh. Students interested in economics-related careers at the Fed can access this website to find out about open positions, and how RAs contribute to the health of the economy and work of Fed Economists across the System.
