Economic Development Post-Graduate Fellowship

The Taubman Center for State and Local Government is committed to accelerating improved economic development opportunities and outcomes across the United States. A key component of that work involves developing future economic development leaders from diverse backgrounds by creating pathways for them to leadership roles in economic development.   

The Taubman Center is thrilled to announce its third annual post-graduate economic development fellowship! This fellowship is a yearlong, competitively paid fellowship for a graduating HKS student to work full-time with a state, county, or city economic development agency. This opportunity is specifically open to HKS students who are graduating in the spring of 2025. 

Fellowship Placement

This year, the Miami-Dade County Office of Innovation and Economic Development will be the host agency, located in Miami, FL. 

Arrangement and Compensation

One fellow will be selected to serve full-time for one year starting this summer (specific start date negotiated between the fellow and the host agency), hired directly by Miami-Dade County, with an expectation to relocate to and work from the Miami area during the fellowship. The fellow will be paid a salary of $125,000 and will receive Miami-Dade County employee benefits.
