The World Bank Internship Program offers highly motivated individuals an opportunity to be exposed to the mission and work of the World Bank Group in international development. An internship at the World Bank is an opportunity to learn while gaining practical experience. The deadline is on 31 January 2020.
Apply for The World Bank Internship Program
The World Bank Internship Program typically seeks candidates for: Operations in the following fields: economics, finance, human development (public health, education, nutrition, population), social sciences (anthropology, sociology), agriculture, environment, engineering, urban planning, natural resources management, private sector development, and other related fields; or Corporate support (Accounting, Communications, Human Resources Management, Information Technology, Treasury, and other corporate services).
