Details

The VSE Career Centre is seeking students who are interested in Development Economics and connecting students with insights and opportunities in the field. We are looking for motivated, creative, and passionate students who can develop a resource that will help Economic students gain access to resources that will help them better understand Development Economics while offering access to jobs, graduate studies (Pre-docs), and other resources. This project would require the student to collaborate with the Career Centre staff, other students, VSE professors, and outside connections to gather relevant resources.

Deliverables
  • Re-develop and update existing Development Career Guide; incorporate additional resources that are current and relevant in the field of Development Economics
  • Network with the Director of the VSE Career Centre, VSE professors and other relevant stakeholders
  • Collaborate as part of a small student team to organize and develop the career guide for all undergraduates at the VSE
  • Engage with opportunities in the development economics space
Mentorship
  • Students will report directly to the VSE Career Centre Director
  • Training, guidance, and mentorship will be provided by the Director and the VSE
