The World Bank Group has announced the application opening for the young professionals programme (YPP).
In a statement on Thursday, the group said the application
will open on September 1, 2024, and remain open until 11:59 pm on September 30.
The World Bank said the programme is aimed at recruiting
young professionals from around the world with various academic and
professional backgrounds relevant to its operations and those of the
International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Multilateral Investment Guarantee
Agency (MIGA).
The WBG YPP is a two-year leadership development programme
at the beginning of a five-year employment contract with either the World Bank,
IFC or MIGA.
The selected professionals would start the program in
Washington DC, where they would engage in intensive training — on the job and
in the classroom — learning the fundamentals of leadership and development
operations across institutions.
“YPs are full-time employees, making significant
contributions to their respective unit’s work program, while building networks
and knowledge across the Bank Group through the YPP,” the organisers said.
“They often join field missions, where they work on the
frontlines of WBG operations, learning key aspects of our work and directly
engaging with our clients.
“Through the WBG YPP
curriculum, YPs develop the foundational knowledge to contribute to our
business and the competencies to lead. Activities range from leadership and
professional development workshops to networking, mentorship and conversations
with WBG leadership.
“YPs engage in intensive training on the policies, products
and operations of the World Bank, IFC and MIGA. This aspect of the WBG YPP
curriculum ensures that YPs know how to operationalize joint WBG solutions to
development challenges, and how to retain and apply this knowledge for years to
come.”
