The Federal Reserve Bank of New York would like to invite college students and professors nationwide to attend our webinar: “Demystifying a Career Path in Economics and Advancing Diversity” to be held on Wednesday, October 18, from 4:00p.m. to 5:30p.m.

The webinar will provide information about careers in economics and aims to broaden awareness of opportunities in the field across a more diverse talent pool. New York Fed economists and research analysts (RAs) will discuss the path to become an economist, why they chose careers in economics, their experience in the field, and the importance of expanding diversity in the profession.

Economists and RAs, as well as representatives from the Bank’s People and Engagement department, will also talk about: tips for success in the field of economics (college and beyond); potential career paths at the New York Fed and in the wider marketplace; the role of RAs and college-level interns in the Bank; and career-planning resources and mentoring information. Additionally, staff from Outreach and Education and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion will share an overview of the Federal Reserve System.

Attendees must register in advance.
