In Series 2 of our brilliant podcast series, “How Did I Get Here?”, we conducted interviews with people working in a variety of economics or economics-adjacent roles, from students and apprentices all the way up to established professionals. It’s a great way for young people to get an insight into the industry, or for those curious just to find out more about our amazingly dynamic field.

In this episode, we chat with Arywen Morris and Susannah East, two degree
apprentices working in economics. They share their journeys, from overcoming a fear
of maths to choosing apprenticeships over university, challenging common
misconceptions and highlighting how economics can drive social change.
Arywen is a degree apprentice economist working on freight and motoring services
policy for the UK government. Susannah works at the Office for National Statistics,
researching regional GDP and economic wellbeing.
They both share insights into breaking into economics, why apprenticeships can be a
game-changer, and how economics shapes the world.

This would suit being used as part of a suite of Economics homeworks, or for use in citizenship, careers, or PSHE lessons.
