For this inaugural program, International Economic Development Council (IEDC) and its partners will place up to 65 Economic Recovery Corps (ERC) Fellows in economic development and related organizations in under resourced communities throughout the nation for 2.5 years (30 months). Fellows will be early to mid-career professionals, equipped to help identify and advance innovative, locally-driven initiatives to build stronger, more resilient, and inclusive economies.

If you have an entrepreneurial spirit and are seeking to transform how economic development is done, this fellowship opportunity is for you!

Join us on Tuesday, August 1 at 2pm EST/11am PST for an informational webinar to learn more about the ERC program, its impact on the field of economic development, how you can apply for the opportunity to become a fellow, and the robust professional development resources for fellows.
