Internship Opportunities

The Legal Vice Presidency does not have an official internship program. However, excellent candidates are considered for short term internship positions provided that there is a clear business need and rationale for such internship. Candidates must input their coordinates and curriculum into the World Bank Internship Program database through the World Bank's external website (see link at the end of this section). In conformity with Bank-wide policies, the Legal Vice Presidency only accepts applications of candidates that are already enrolled in a full-time legal study program (either pursuing a basic law degree, or a Master's degree or PhD) with plans to return to school in a full-time capacity after the internship is complete.
