Interested in learning about what a think tank is and how you can work for one?
IPPR (the Institute for Public Policy Research) is the UK’s leading progressive think tank and an independent registered charity. IPPR produces rigorous and independent policy research, covering the full range of local and national policy debates, and it seeks to influence all political parties and decision-makers at all levels of government.
Mr Craig Thorley and Mr Alfie Stirling will be talking about their career paths that led them to working for IPPR, and what it is like working for a think tank. Craig Thorley is an IPPR researcher with a focus on health and social care, social work and education policy, and Alfie Stirling is an IPPR researcher whose main research interests lie in political economy, economic policy and labour market reform.
Working for a think tank is a great way to gain a foothold in the Westminster ‘political bubble’ and could give you a huge advantage in your career.
This talk is incredibly useful for anyone who is interested in social policy, politics or social/economic research to find out more about how to get a career in this competitive field.
