About JPA
Are you a recent graduate with a passion for international development? Are you interested in a three-year assignment at a dynamic, innovative, multi-cultural organization where you can help create a world free of poverty on a livable planet? If so, we invite you to explore our Junior Professional Associates (JPA) program.
As a JPA, you will use your strong analytical skills, research expertise, and technical knowledge to help us solve the world’s most pressing development challenges.

The ideal JPA will have strong analytical and research capabilities in one or more of the following areas: Economics, finance, human development (public health, education, nutrition, and/or population studies), social sciences (anthropology, sociology), agriculture, environmental studies (climate change, blue economy), infrastructure, private sector development, or in corporate and administrative functions, such as information technology, legal, accounting, communications, corporate procurement, and human resources.
What do we offer you?
In addition to the unique opportunity to expand your knowledge, build your network, and contribute solutions to global challenges at the world’s premier development institution, you will receive a comprehensive rewards package that includes annual and parental leave, medical and life insurance, worker’s compensation, and other benefits.
What are the eligibility criteria?
To be eligible for the JPA program, you must:
- Be 32 years of age or younger
- Hold a bachelor’s degree
- Be fluent in English
The JPA program is highly competitive. Candidates who are being actively considered for positions may be required to present academic transcripts and professional references. Our Human Resources team will carefully evaluate applications and reach out to individuals selected for the interview process.
Opportunities are available at World Bank Group headquarters in Washington, DC and across our offices around the world.
It is important to note that a JPA assignment does not guarantee continued employment at the World Bank Group. Following completion of the three-year JPA contract, candidates may apply for competitive term employment assignments with no cooling-off period.
