Applications call for World Bank Group Young Professionals Program 2020

The World Bank and IFC have merged their respective Young Professionals Programs into one World Bank Group Young Professionals Program (WBG YPP).

Call for application

The new program is now accepting applications on behalf of three institutions (the World Bank, IFC, and MIGA). Building on the rich legacy of its predecessor programs, the WBG YPP will recruit and develop future leaders to collaborate effectively across our institutions on joint WBG solutions to development challenges. Young Professionals are recruited from around the world, with preference to nationals of WBG member countries and countries of operations. World Bank Group welcomes all qualified individuals from diverse professional, academic, and cultural backgrounds to apply.

World Bank Group Young Professionals Program

The WBG YPP is a two-year leadership development program at the start of a five-year employment contract with the World Bank, IFC or MIGA. Young Professionals (YPs) start the program in Washington, DC, where they engage in intensive training—on-the-job and in the classroom—learning the fundamentals of leadership and development operations across institutions, and how to identify opportunities for joint impact.
