About The Position
WBG Pioneers, the World Bank Group’s Internship Program, offers undergraduate and postgraduate students a high impact learning experience at the heart of global development. Participants gain hands on experience in a diverse and dynamic environment, contribute fresh perspectives and innovative ideas, and connect with international professionals working to end poverty on a livable planet. The World Bank Group (WBG) finances development projects across the globe through three distinct institutions, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Development Association (IBRD/IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA). The Information and Technology Solutions (ITS) Vice Presidency of the World Bank Group delivers a wide portfolio of technology products and services that enable the WBG's development mission. Within ITS, the Fiduciary Operations unit (ITSFD) is responsible for digital solutions that support Procurement, Financial Management, and Environmental and Social Safeguards across World Bank operations. This internship program is hosted by the E&S (Environmental & Social Safeguards) team, the product and technology team within ITSFD responsible for building and maintaining the digital systems that support the World Bank Group's environmental and social risk management and accountability functions. The E&S product team builds the tools that both groups, along with task teams and safeguards specialists across the Bank, rely on daily track and manage workflows, and report on E&S risk and compliance. Interns will gain hands-on exposure to how the Bank manages environmental and social risk, complaints, and incident tracking across its global project portfolio. Depending on their track, they'll build skills in requirements gathering, applied AI/ML for risk classification and case triage, or data engineering, all while contributing to tools that support accountability and protect communities affected by Bank-financed projects.
