Internships

The objective of the internship program is to offer students with a holistic view of the work as a consulting economist.

As an intern, you will get a taste of what it’s like to be a graduate at HoustonKemp. You will gain exposure to how we apply economics on a daily basis to tackle the most challenging economic problems in the Asia-Pacific region. Our breadth of project work offers invaluable industry experience, an insight into the career of a consulting economist and the opportunity to demonstrate your potential.

You will be directly involved in our project work from the get go, working closely with and supported by our project teams. You will be involved in a diverse range of tasks, spanning from qualitative research, modelling, and report writing.

HoustonKemp operates with a flat structure, providing abundant cross-learning opportunities, with engaged senior staff offering guidance and mentorship to our interns throughout the program.

Our main Sydney-based internship program runs over the summer break in Australia and is for students undertaking or entering postgraduate study (Honours and above) in economics. We also offer internship positions over the winter break.

We encourage interested students to attend our recruitment information evening, in person and virtual, on 11 March 2025 to find out more about working at HoustonKemp.
