WHY PARTICIPATE

Value to Employers

Organizations will have an opportunity to meet and interview a select group of 15-30 highly skilled potential employees with a graduate level background in economics and knowledge of issues related to food, agriculture, and natural resources and the environment.

Information about the candidates will be provided to registered employers who will be welcome to interact with candidates in advance of the Annual Meeting.

Value to Students

Students will have an opportunity to meet with potential employers and learn more about their organizations. Many students will have an opportunity to have meaningful one-on-one interviews. Some organizations may be in a position to hire “on the spot”. Others will follow up at a later date after meeting informally. Students should bring their resumes.
