Junior Professional Associates (JPA) Program
The Junior Professional Associate (JPA) program is a unique opportunity
to gain entry-level professional experience and first-hand exposure to the
challenges – and rewards – of international development.
Are you a recent graduate? Do you have passion for and commitment to helping
others? Are you looking for a solid, two-year entry-level work experience in a
multicultural environment? If so, you may be interested in the the World
Bank’s JPA program.
In your JPA assignment, you'll use your strong quantitative and qualitative
analytical skills, your knowledge of technology and your research abilities -
working with more senior colleagues and project teams in their work both in
operations and in corporate functions. You'll have an opportunity to hone your
skills and acquire new ones while gaining first-hand exposure to the
challenges of reducing poverty and boosting shared prosperity. Your experience
as a JPA may be used as a steppingstone to a career in government, consulting,
the private sector, academia or other development agencies.
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
- 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.
How to apply?
Interested candidates may apply online. (Please take care to provide required
information where indicated). Please note that applications will be kept
active in our database for a period of six months. Should you still be
interested in JPA program after six months, you will need to re-apply. Only
those identified for an assignment will be contacted to discuss their interest
and availability. Candidates are selected by the hiring manager on a highly
competitive basis.

The World Bank continually searches for qualified individuals with a diverse
set of backgrounds from around the globe. We are proud to be an equal
opportunity and inclusive employer with a dedicated and committed workforce,
