Thank you for your interest in the WBG Young Professionals Program. Through your application, you will be required to demonstrate your technical expertise and relevant experience (technical depth), the ability to work across the WBG and a variety of sectors (technical breadth), and strong leadership potential.

Note: We are committed to providing an inclusive and accessible recruitment experience for all candidates. If you require support during the recruitment process, please do not hesitate to inform us. Support requests can be arranged at any stage of the process to ensure you have the opportunity to fully participate in the recruitment experience. Your request will be handled with confidentiality and respect, and per the applicable WBG policies and directives. If you have specific needs or questions, please contact our recruitment team at ypp@worldbankgroup.org so we can assist you accordingly. The WBG does not guarantee, nor does it commit to provide, for all the requests for support; the requests will be evaluated individually, under the consideration they don’t impose a disproportionate or undue burden on the WBG.
