The 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.
Interns work alongside experienced professionals in various divisions of the Treasury Department, gaining exposure to cutting-edge financial techniques and practices used in international finance. They are involved in a range of projects, such as market research, portfolio management, financial modeling, and analytics. This experience helps them develop a deeper understanding of global capital markets, sustainable finance, and the role of the World Bank in promoting economic development through innovative financial solutions.
The program is open to students pursuing graduate degrees in fields such as finance, economics, mathematics, and public policy, with a strong emphasis on analytical skills and financial acumen. Interns benefit not only from practical experience but also from networking opportunities, as they collaborate with professionals and interns from diverse backgrounds. Additionally, they participate in learning sessions and workshops that enhance their professional development.
The World Bank Treasury Summer Internship Program is highly competitive and is designed to prepare participants for future careers in global finance, development, and economic policy. It serves as a gateway to understanding how financial strategies are used to address complex development issues, making it an invaluable experience for aspiring finance professionals.
The Internship
Treasury Summer Interns will work full-time for ten weeks from May 27 through August 4, 2025, in Washington, DC. Interns receive a custom onboarding program in the first week before beginning three three-week rotations across Treasury teams. Throughout the summer, interns participate in weekly discussions with the program director and attend a career perspectives speaker series to hear from various Treasury officers, managers, and directors. Interns have access to the nearly 300-employee Treasury, including meeting the Vice President & Treasurer. Interns complete each rotation with a presentation to their respective teams and complete the internship by presenting their work in a capstone project to the management team.
