Opportunity Details
As an intern, you will work at the forefront of development and share fresh ideas, new perspectives, and broad research experience. You will collaborate with project teams to advance our vision to create a world free of poverty on a livable planet. Moreover, you will enrich your skills, build your professional network, and invest in your career development journey.
Who they are looking for
They seek candidates with interests in operations and support functions. Internship opportunities depend on business needs and typically include those studying economics, finance, human development (public health, education, nutrition and population), social sciences (anthropology, sociology), agriculture, environment, engineering, urban planning, natural resources management, private sector development, and corporate support (accounting, communications, human resources, information technology, and finance).
In addition to tremendous professional development opportunities, you will receive an hourly salary. The WB pays an hourly salary to all Interns and, where applicable, provides an allowance toward travel expenses up to USD 3,000 at the discretion of the manager. These travel expenses can only include transport expenses (airfare) to or from the duty station city. Interns are responsible for their own accommodations. Driven by business needs, most Intern positions are based in Washington, DC with some in the WB country offices.
To be eligible for the Bank Internship Program, you must:
Knowledge of additional languages, including French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, and Chinese, is desirable. Strong computing and other technical skills will also strengthen your application.

You will be asked to upload your Curriculum Vitae, Statement of Interest, and Proof of Enrollment in a graduate program. Once you submit your application, you will not be able to make changes or updates. You will receive an email confirmation with your application number.
