About this event

Join us for our webinar to learn and engage with FTI Consulting about what a career in Economic Financial Consulting (EFC) looks like, and the Future Leaders Internship programme currently open.

The Future Leaders Internship Programme

The purpose of this programme is to provide students who have been historically underrepresented in global business advisory firms with the opportunity to gain first hand experience and learn about our Economic Financial Consulting. This could lead to an offer of a graduate role. You will gain access to many experts and professionals to grow your network, including senior leaders. We are seeking students from a variety of degrees.

Our team of consultants come from a wide variety for academic backgrounds. At FTI they develop skills in economics and finance as well as drawing on their problem solving and analytical skills to answer a range of questions for high-profile clients. 

This workshop with EFC Consultants will include:

- Introduction into EFC at FTI Consulting

- What we do and the skills we look for

- Application process for summer internships

- Hints and Tips to be successful in the application process

Join us for our 5 episode series on graduate applications to economics-related disciplines! We will cover a broad range of topics including a general overview, a non-overwhelming timeline, understanding each of the application components and how to improve them, the dreaded topic of funding, and the underemphasized psychological elements of applying. There will be guest speakers from Economics PhD, Sociology PhD, Masters in Public Policy programs, and more! Hosted by two organizations focused on improving the position of Black people in economics, The Black Economists Network and the Sadie Collective, it will be customized and tailored towards Black students and their experiences.

Episode 3 is one of the most important episodes, as it covers three of the most important application components: the statement of purpose, writing sample, and resume/CV. We will walk through the importance of the statement of purpose and how to write it the way that admissions committees want to see, what the writing sample is and the easiest way to obtain one, and a good structure for an academic resume/CV and how to improve it (a template will also be provided).
