Graduate Student Workshop
Program Overview
Designed to help students prepare for the highly-competitive job market, this program offers selected Ph.D. candidates hands-on experience in job-market paper presentation skills and interview techniques. Since 2009 the workshop has been held in conjunction with WEAI’s Annual Conference, which in 2025 will be June 20-24, at the Marriott Marquis San Francisco.
Nominations for the 2026 program will open in fall 2025. Your department is invited to nominate one Ph.D. student who plans to enter the job market by January 2027 to participate in this innovative program. If your institution is an Academic or Sustaining WEAI Institutional Member you can nominate two students; three students if a Supporting Member; or five if a Sponsoring Member -- learn more about Institutional Membership.
