Economics for Policy and Government: 2024
Are you keen to improve your understanding of economics and public finances? Sign up for one of our courses, for all those working in policy, politics, or public life.
Economics for Government: Foundation
This will give participants a grounding in the UK economy, the basics of micro and macroeconomics, and the challenges and choices in promoting growth.
Economics in Policymaking
This will build on participants’ existing knowledge, putting the UK economy in historical and international comparison, and debating the merits of supply or demand side policy tools.
Each 1-day course is in-person only, held at our Public Hall office in SW1. Led by a former Whitehall Chief Economist you will be guided through economic theory and policy, and discuss how UK Governments raise, and spend, money, tailored to your existing knowledge. Places are limited, to ensure quality. Both courses suit political candidates of any Party, civil servants, and those interested in public appointments or career-switches into government.
“Intellectually and personally enriching – I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested not just in working in government, but in government working better.” Christopher Louis
“The Civic Future Economics for Government course was incredibly valuable. We were fortunate to have a host of economists who skilfully simplified and contextualised the subject. It was also great to meet a range of future colleagues across the political spectrum.”
“I feel much more confident now that I’ve got the basics covered on how the UK works economically.”
