Why did you apply to join the Capital Economics graduate scheme?

My interest in applying for the Capital Economics graduate scheme was twofold. First, from my time at university studying economics as well as from previous work experience, I knew that I wanted to further my understanding of macroeconomics and apply my economic knowledge to events happening around the globe. As a result, the opportunity the graduate scheme offered to complete four rotations across a variety of teams greatly appealed to me. Second, the opportunity to study for a Master’s degree of my own choice, paid for by the company, was a great chance for me build upon my undergraduate economic studies and delve deeper into the areas of economics that interested me the most. Therefore, for these two reasons, I thought that the Capital Economics graduate scheme would be an excellent way to start my career as an economist.

What have you worked on while on the graduate scheme?

My first rotation at CE was on the UK team, during which I got the chance to work on the possible economic implications of the upcoming UK general election as well as helping to provide economic insights for clients on the Autumn Statement and Spring Budget fiscal events. As an example of the variety of work that you will do on the graduate scheme, my second and current rotation has been on the Climate and Commodities team. So far, I have published research on topics ranging from the US shale industry to the outlook for China’s coal demand.
