Our economists get the chance to work with, and sometime pit their intellectual skills against, people from other government departments, the public sector, Europe, and the private sector. We have an active Interchange programme, so you may get the opportunity to travel. We also have our own internal training and development programme, designed to optimise your chances of promotion. You are never too old, or too clever, to stop learning.
