SUMMARY:Virtual - The Fed Gambit: Playing Chicken with the Labor Market and Inflation
DESCRIPTION:Two months ago fears of a recession abounded\, with many wondering if that was going to slow or stop the Fed rate hiking cycle. Those fears have abated as the job market shows no signs of slowing and demand for housing and autos continue to outstrip supply. While inflation looks like it has peaked\, it is still well above the Fed’s 2% target. This means the Fed is going to have to keep tightening with a high risk that they have to overdo it to maintain their inflation fighting credibility. Our speaker Gerald Cohen\, Chief Economist of the Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise\, will discuss these challenges and what this means for businesses and investors.  \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio:   \n\n\n\nGerald Cohen\, Chief Economist\, Kenan Institue of Private Enterprise \n\n\n\nGerald provides strategic vision and leadership of the translational economic research and policy initiatives at the Institute. \n\n\n\nHe has worked in both the public and private sectors focusing on the intersection between financial markets and economic fundamentals. During the Obama Administration Gerald was Deputy Assistant Secretary for Macroeconomic Analysis at the U.S. Department of Treasury where he helped formulate and evaluate the impact of policy proposals on the U.S. economy. Prior to Treasury\, he co-managed a global macro fund at Ziff Brothers Investments. \n\n\n\nGerald holds a B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University and is a contributing author to 30-Second Money as well as a co-author of Political Cycles and the Macroeconomy.

SUMMARY:Intro to Python for Business and Finance
DESCRIPTION:Python is a high-level\, object-oriented programming language that is used in a variety of projects ranging from data science and machine learning to backend web development. In fact\, it is one of the most in-demand programming languages today. \n\n\n\nLearning Python is a great entry point into the technical world as the syntax is much easier to learn compared to other programming languages. Because of its syntax simplicity\, Python is a common first programming language for business and finance individuals. \n\n\n\nBut\, do not be misinformed though! Just because Python has easier syntax does not make it any less powerful compared to other languages. Many of the world’s tech majors use Python as part of their technical ecosystems. \n\n\n\nThis hands-on introductory course teaches students foundational Python concepts and how to use Python’s popular libraries to complete various technical tasks. Students are presented with Python coding challenges throughout the day to test their understanding of the material. The course culminates with a challenging in-class coding project where students apply concepts taught in the course to create a game. This is Cognitir’s standard one-day Intro to Python course (7 hours of instruction) broken up into two evenings.
