They often join field missions, where they work on the frontlines of WBG operations, learning key aspects of our work and directly engaging with our clients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leadership Development\u00a0<\/strong>Through the WBG YPP curriculum, YPs develop the foundational knowledge to contribute to our business and the competencies to lead. Activities range from leadership and professional development workshops to networking, mentorship and conversations with WBG leadership.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Training on WBG Policies, Products &amp; Operations<\/strong>\u00a0YPs engage in intensive training on the policies, products and operations of the World Bank, IFC and MIGA. This aspect of the WBG YPP curriculum ensures that YPs know how to operationalize joint WBG solutions to development challenges, and how to retain and apply this knowledge for years to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Global Rotations across WBG\u00a0<\/strong>YPs participate in at least one rotation within their home institution, with some engaging in additional rotations to another institution, with the goal of developing and applying skills across the business. Rotations are a core component of the curriculum, providing YPs the exposure to understand how our institutions work (and can work together) as well as how to align their skills to priority areas, like countries affected by fragility, conflict and violence (FCV), and other challenging environments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coaching &amp; Mentoring\u00a0<\/strong>YPs are assigned several mentors at the peer and departmental level. Mentors can provide advice on various topics ranging from settling into Washington, DC to identifying career opportunities throughout the YP experience, and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Networking Events\u00a0<\/strong>In addition to the program orientation and graduation ceremonies, the WBG YPP office organizes regular events for YPs to stay in touch with program alumni, stakeholders and broader WBG staff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Management Supported Rotations &amp; Job Placements\u00a0<\/strong>YPs are provided management-level support in their transitions to rotations and post-YPP job placements, ensuring their skills are best placed across the business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>COMPENSATION &amp; BENEFITS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The WBG YPP\u00a0<\/strong>offers a competitive salary and benefits package as part of a 5-year term contract.
