Careers in Progressive Policy
Free and open to all
The Association for Quality Economics is delighted to host an event for students, graduates, and early-career practitioners that explores careers in Progressive Policy.
Join us to hear directly from practitioners across the sector about what their work involves, and get advice on how to get in, regardless of your professional route so far.
What progressive policy does differently:
- Asks different questions: Starting from inequality, climate and wellbeing — not just growth and efficiency.
- Uses broader methods: Qualitative, pluralist, interdisciplinary — not only econometrics.
- Shapes real decisions: Influencing government, business and public debate — not just academic journals.
- Works across sectors: Think tanks, civil service, unions, parliament, B-Corps and beyond.
This webinar has been organised by the Association for Quality Economics. Find out more about the webinar here.
