Workshops for Department of Economics Graduate Students

Customized Services for Economics Graduate Students

EPPIC offers specialized services for graduate students in Penn State’s highly multilingual Department of Economics, including workshop series and individual consultations:

• • Job Search Workshops (fall semester) are designed for Economics graduate students who are entering the job market, and focus on how to prepare successfully for job interviews, job talks, and flyouts.  These sessions are research-based and language-focused. (See below for details about the job market workshop series in fall 2024.)
  • Economics Communication Workshops (spring semester) offer doctoral students in years 2-4 a four-part model for presenting research ideas effectively in Economics.  Workshop participants develop a repertoire of communication strategies for presenting their research in a clear and memorable way, and are guided to create a polished version of their research spiel for professional networking purposes.
  • Individual consultations provide Economics doctoral students with ongoing opportunities to practice and receive feedback on their third-year paper, job market paper, research spiel, abstracts, job application materials, and other academic writing, informed by corpus-based research in Economics.
