The World Bank Treasury Summer Internship Program 2025 Application (Paid Internship)

Applications for the 2025 World Bank Treasury Summer Internship Program are now open. The program is designed to provide junior professionals with the skills necessary for a successful 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.

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.

All interns are expected to be in person, full-time, in Washington, DC, for the entire internship (May 27 – August 4). HR policies may change, but interns are expected to work at least four days in the office per week.
Each intern will receive a World Bank laptop at the start of the internship.
