My SUERF policy note on the lack of socioeconomic diversity in economics and the financial sector has just been published and makes the following points:  1.    Under-representation of those from less privileged backgrounds seems greater in economics and finance compared to many other disciplines and professions. 2.    Dismantling class barriers and class ceilings could enhance both productivity and policymaking in economics and finance, benefitting all. 3.    European Institutions and firms could consider advancing socioeconomic diversity through appropriate recruitment and promotion policies, internships, summer schools and targeted outreach programmes. https://lnkd.in/dvfjNuVs

Have you heard about STEAM Ahead? If not, the Northern Lakes Economic Symposium and Showcase is a great opportunity to learn about what this program has to offer. STEAM Ahead was created by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation as a rebrand of its successful program "STEM Forward". This rebrand broadens the type of internships that are eligible for the program's financial support. STEAM Ahead provides businesses with thousands of dollars to help pay interns doing quality work. This support helps businesses meet their immediate talent needs while building a pipeline of future employees. Avazeh Attari will be a speaker at the Northern Lakes Economic Symposium and Showcase, where she will share more about this program and its potential impact on our region.

This past week, I had the pleasure of presenting my Financial Literacy Workshop to the interns at The City University of New York's Marketing & Communications Hub! It was our 5th time collaborating. Presenting to a fresh group of over 400 amazing interns was incredibly inspiring. Seeing young adults actively learning and eager to take charge of their financial futures is a powerful reminder of why I continue to offer these workshops. Teaching financial literacy to the next generation is crucial! 📊 🎓 We covered A LOT  during our session: -Money mindset -How to start saving -Essential bank accounts for college students -Creating a college-friendly budget -Understanding the impact of debt -Tips on tackling debt -Student loans -Credit 101 -Investing Not only were these topics covered in an easy-to-understand way, but there was also an interactive workbook used throughout the workshop, allowing the interns to immediately apply what they learned. I believe in making learning practical and hands-on! A Huge Thank You 🙏: 👉🏼To the interns for your participation, engagement, and feedback. Your feedback motivates me to continue this mission! 🤝To the Marketing & Communications Hub team, Ava Coffee-Burks and Olivia Marriott, for your support, collaboration, and inviting me back to speak! 🔗 Interested in Bringing This Workshop to Your Campus or Professional Organization?

Good Afternoon Everyone, In todays post I am going to share the lessons I learned from being a student government senator for CUNY York College. 1. Closed mouths don’t get fed, however you have to know what your saying who you are saying it too and when you are saying it. Because aggressive mouths don’t get heard. 2. Delegation doesn’t work in politics. What I mean by delegation in Student Government Is I go and speak to the admins about concerns students are having and come back to the board so they could vote on it however they informed me that delegation doesn’t work in politics 3. How to work in large teams. In my 2 summer internships this summer I was working with 2 teams of 3 interns each which was manageable. However in Student Government we have 29 senators and I learned how to work with a large group of people and the importance of shared governance

Earlier this week, the UK Government announced new changes to the immigration policy. Among the changes is an increase in the minimum salary to obtain a Skilled Worker Visa from £26,000 to £38,000 per year. The Home Secretary also mentioned that the government will reconsider the Graduate Route visa for international students, a visa loved by many foreign students to start a career in the UK without employer sponsorship. Whether we like it or not, international students are part of a migrant community and are also very vulnerable to immigration policy dynamics. The recent dynamic might as well impact the inflow of international students in the future. Previously, the government had a target to host 600,000 international students by 2035, which the number has been met in the last couple of years. It depicts that despite the expensive tuition fees for international students, UK higher education is still a preferable option for hundreds of thousands of international students every year. My first two cents about the economic benefits of international students in the West Midlands is now on City-REDI's blog. Give it a read to see how impactful the international students community is to the UK economy and let me know your thoughts regarding the new immigration policy changes! https://ow.ly/Y5gj50Qgkhb
