Organisations Database

The resource has been compiled to create a running database of organisations which employ economics and policy students. The sheet has information on the type of hiring, timelines, and the organisation's work. Much of this information exists online but had not yet been collated in one resource. Our aim was precisely to document the information in one place and supplement it with our members' knowledge and experience in the area. Prospective job applicants/ students seeking-internship can use this as a tracking sheet for their applications. Please read the 'How to Use' steps before looking at the sheet. Good luck applying!
