Join us for an exclusive information session on the World Bank Group Pioneers Internship Program, a unique opportunity designed for final-year undergraduate students and current Master's, MBA, and PhD candidates who are eager to make a global impact while gaining meaningful professional experience. During this live webinar, you'll learn everything you need to know about the program, including eligibility requirements, application tips, available opportunities, compensation, and how to navigate the application process successfully. The 2026 application cycle opens on July 13, 2026, and eligible students may apply to up to three internship opportunities. Applicants must be currently enrolled in an accredited university or business school at the time of application. As a global organization, the World Bank Group offers paid, hourly internships across a variety of sectors and locations. Visa support may be available where required, although students are encouraged to apply for opportunities located near their current place of residence. This is the second recruitment cycle of the newly designed Pioneers Internship Program, and students can expect a diverse range of opportunities—with potentially more roles available outside the United States during this cycle.
