About World Bank Group

The World Bank Group Internship Program places graduate students within its operational and research units in Washington, D.C. and select country offices, working alongside economists and development specialists on real project and analytical work. It runs on two structured intake cycles each year (typically summer and winter) rather than year-round rolling admission, and is highly competitive relative to its cohort size.
