The Master’s in Applied Economics Program (MAEP) hosted its Fall 2023 Career Day on Friday, October 20.
MAEP’s Career Day occurs twice a year and connects current and prospective MAEP students to alumni and employers.
The event began with a panel discussion featuring MAEP alumni. Students heard from Krista Lape Chechanover, a Consulting Associate with Charles River Associates, and Vesselka McAlarney, an Economist for the Florida Legislature’s Office of Economic and Demographic Research. These alumni discussed their careers, and how MAEP prepared them for success.
MAEP students then participated in mock interviews with representatives from The Florida Legislature, Berkeley Research Group, Florida TaxWatch, and more. These mock interviews help prepare students for the job market and give them the opportunity to network. Organizations also use these interviews as a recruiting tool.
The day ended with a networking reception with prospective MAEP students, the current Master’s cohort, professors, program alumni, and employers.
The Master’s in Applied Economics Program is a one-year program that prepares students for a variety of careers in government and the private sector. Students gain real-world experience by working closely with alumni, faculty, and civic leaders.
