Are you the equivalent of a rising senior in college working towards a career on the trading floor of a major bank, investment, or private equity firm or one of the departments supporting that function? Get a substantial boost down that path with a Treasury Summer Internship.
The World Bank Treasury Summer Internship Program is a junior professional training program designed to develop the skills necessary for an exciting and rewarding career in the financial industry. The Program aims to bring exceptional college students with a demonstrated interest in a financial career to support the World Bank’s development mandate. The internship lays the foundation to become a Junior Analyst, a two-year position on one Treasury team, immediately after the intern graduates from their degree program. Interns are expected to be in their second to final year in the equivalent of a four-year college degree program.
Internship Details
