IFC’s Global Internship Program (GIP) offers highly motivated individuals an opportunity to be exposed to the mission and work of IFC and the broader World Bank Group and become part of the world's largest private sector development institution. The program encourages individuals to bring new perspectives and innovative ideas to IFC’s work, while improving skills in a diverse and highly stimulating environment. Moreover, the Global Internship Program provides a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and network with international professionals dedicated to ending extreme poverty and boosting prosperity in the developing world.

 Candidates must be currently enrolled in a Masters’ degree level program, with at least three years of relevant professional experience. Candidates must have their expected graduation date after December 1st, 2023, to be eligible.

The interns are hired for four weeks between May 1 and September 30 to work on discrete projects in Washington, D.C., or in one of IFC's country or regional offices. Currently, some of the posted opportunities will be open for virtual participation.
