TBEN Ambassadors Programme
Introducing the Ambassadors Programme
The TBEN Ambassador Programme kicked off in July 2024! It is a year-long programme that empowers current UK university students to champion diversity and inclusion in economics. It kickstarts with a five-week (three days a week) paid summer internship. Followed by ongoing activities throughout the academic year (September 2024 - June 2025). These activities will equip you with the skills and experience to make a real difference. You'll develop your leadership skills by organizing events on your university campus to spread awareness about TBEN's mission for diversity in economics. As a TBEN ambassador, you'll join a network of passionate individuals working alongside TBEN to diversify the field.
