Organization: World Bank

Apply: https://worldbankgroup.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/1/requisition/12469/application?c=worldbankgroup#1

What are we looking for?

Your academic achievements are superior and place you in the top portion of your graduating class. Your analytical and research skills extend to areas of specialization such as: economics, finance, human development (public health, education, nutrition, population), social sciences (anthropology, sociology), agriculture, environment (climate, blue economy), infrastructure, private sector development, as well as other related fields, including corporate and administrative functions (IT, legal, accounting, communications, etc.).

You are fluent in English and, preferably, in at least one other Bank language (French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, or Chinese). You love technology and integrate it in your work.

What are we offering you?

We will provide you with the opportunity to gain entry-level professional experience in a premier development institution, on a two-year, non-renewable Extended Term Consultant (ETC) contract with benefits

Eligibility Criteria:

The following are minimum requirements to be eligible for the JPA program: 

     - Be 28 years of age or younger on your first day of service

     - Hold the equivalent of a Bachelor's degree with a superior academic record

     - Be fluent in English

     - One or more of the Bank’s working languages is a plus: Arabic, Chinese, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish 

 
 
Since this employment program is highly competitive, applicants under active consideration for employment may be asked to submit academic records as well as references. The World Bank will contact only those applicants whom hiring managers wish to interview.
 
 
Positions may be located in any of the World Bank's offices across the world.
 
 
A JPA assignment is not an entry point for a career at the World Bank and employment beyond the two-year contract will be prohibited for a period of two years after the end of the contract. However, some former JPAs may rejoin the organization later in their careers after gaining experience elsewhere and becoming experts in their professional fields.
 
 
Recruitment and hiring for this employment category is ongoing throughout the year
