\nTo be competitive for the limited number of positions, a combination of the following credentials is highly desirable:<\/p>\n\n
\nEvery year, around 40 applicants are accepted into the Young Professionals Program. Young Professionals are offered a 5-year term contract, spend 24 months in a structured development program, and enjoy a variety of benefits and opportunities.<\/p>\n
\nSalary<\/b>:
\nAs an entry-level professional in the WBG, Young Professionals are offered an internationally competitive salary, based on their education and professional experience.<\/p>\n
\nYoung Professionals and their families (including declared domestic partners) may choose from three comprehensive medical\/dental benefit plans. The WBG also provides basic life and accident insurance to all staff at no cost, and staff can elect optional life and accident insurance plans. The WBG also provides disability and Workers’ Compensation coverage to staff at no cost.<\/p>\n
\nThe WBG sponsors a comprehensive pension plan for eligible staff. Upon separation from the WBG, either a lump sum or a pension will become payable to the staff based on eligibility.<\/p>\n
\nThese benefits are only applicable to staff who are not residents of the Greater Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area at the time of appointment.<\/p>\n\n
\nA financial benefit is provided for a fixed period of time to cover expenses associated with being an expatriate staff member, based on family size and nationality. This benefit is not available for U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents who are based in Washington D.C.<\/p>\n
\nU.S. staff receive an additional quarterly payment to cover the U.S., state and local income tax liabilities on their World Bank income. Expatriates and U.S. permanent residents do not incur U.S. income tax liability and are thus not eligible for this benefit.<\/p>\n
\nThe World Bank Group offers several financial assistance programs, including a two-year interest-free settling-in loan to those who relocate upon appointment.<\/p>\n
\nYoung Professionals are chosen through an intensive and rigorous selection process.
\nCompetition is keen. We receive thousands of applications each year for a limited number of positions. Most candidates exceed the minimum criteria.<\/p>\n
\nInterested and qualified candidates should apply below<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
