Careers in microfinance are as varied as the interests of our members. Nonprofit and private sector consulting, international development, private equity and socially responsible investing are just a few of the relevant fields. Members may explore their interests and learn more about the possible career paths by networking with other students and guest speakers at events. The possibilities are endless!
In the spring semester of each academic year, MFWG organizes and hosts its Annual Careers in Microfinance Event. Students and practitioners come together to discuss relevant and current trends in microfinance as well as potential career choices. Register early as it always fills up!
