CAREER SERVICES UPDATE
Internships
It's never too early to find an internship.
If you are like most Economics majors, you are
already thinking about your career, maybe even
have some ideas about career possibilities, but
truthfully are not ready to commit to anything just
yet. The good news is you don't have to commit just
yet. What you should do if you want to be
competitive in the job market, is gain knowledge and experience in fields of interest. This could be
in the form of student clubs, job shadowing programs like FRESH & EXTERN, and eventually
internships.

PAID POLICY INTERNSHIPS - FALL 2014
THE HAMILTON PROJECT AT THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION
The Hamilton Project, an economic initiative at The Brookings Institution, produces research and
policy proposals on how to create a growing economy that benefits more Americans. The Hamilton
Project's economic strategy reflects a judgment that long-term prosperity is best achieved by
making economic growth broad-based, by enhancing individual economic security, and by
embracing a role for effective government in making needed public investments. More on the
Project's work can be found at www.hamiltonproject.org.
The Hamilton Project seeks motivated, energetic, D.C.-based team players to serve as full- time or
part-time interns for academic credit or a modest hourly stipend during the fall semester.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Hamilton Project interns will gain exposure to a broad set of policy topics while developing their
analytical thinking and writing skills. Applicants should expect a range of responsibilities, broadly
defined under the following categories:
General research and writing (40%)
Interns will assist with short-term research and other projects. Examples include research for policy
memos, blog posts, or other Hamilton Project work products. In additions, interns would be
expected to analyze data and create graphs for the Hamilton Project economic analyses, policy
memos, presentations and other items.
