SUMMER EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM
The Summer Employment Program is the World Bank's only internship program. It is open to students who are nationals of the Bank's member countries. Each year a large number of highly qualified candidates apply to the Program.
The World Bank does not offer unpaid or volunteer positions at any time. All Summer positions are located in Washington, D.C. The Summer Employment Program is not a means of entry into the World Bank. Summer Assistants' contracts will not be extended beyond the end of October, or converted to any other type of employment in the Bank until the Fall semester is completed.
Candidates for the Program must possess a bachelor's degree, and be enrolled in a full-time graduate study program--pursuing a master's degree or a Ph.D., and must have plans to return as a full-time student in the Fall semester.
The Program generally requires experience in business concentrations such as: economics, finance, and statistics. Needs also occur in other disciplines, such as: agriculture, environment, information systems, and social sciences. Candidates must have strong computer skills. Knowledge of World Bank Group languages (Arabic, Chinese, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish) is useful; fluency in English is required. Relevant work experience is an added advantage.
The Bank pays a monthly salary to all Summer Assistants, and where applicable, provides a travel allowance to contribute towards travel expenses. Assistants are responsible for their own living accommodations.
The Summer Employment Program office is open from December through June of each year.
If you are interested in applying for the 1997 season, a detailed curriculum vitae must be received by the SEP by January 31, 1997.
