ECON Employer Pop-Up Shops

The Economics Employer Pop-Up Shops provide an opportunity to educate students about your organization and its opportunities, while also facilitating networking between the students and organization representatives. 

The Shop usually last 3-4 hours and can occur anytime between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. We will advertise the hours to Economic majors as a drop in and employers can choose to meet with students in small groups or individually. The Shop is usually preceded with an opportunity to briefly speak with an ECON class to offer a short introduction to their career path and/or tips they will be sharing during the Shop hours. 

Employers/alumni have shared the following with students in the past. 

• Organizational goals

• Tips for getting the most out of their academic experience 

• Entry tips into the field 

• Accepted resumes for openings 

The Department of Economics organizes the Shops and provides parking instructions, a space to meet with students, and tips for making the most of the visit.
