Background
The World Bank Group (WBG) is one of the largest sources of funding and knowledge for developing countries; a unique global partnership of five institutions dedicated to ending extreme poverty, increasing shared prosperity, and promoting sustainable development. With 189 member countries and more than 120 offices worldwide, we work with public and private sector partners, investing in groundbreaking projects and using data, research, and technology to develop solutions to the most urgent global
challenges.

The WBG’s office in Vienna started in 2004 with a small investment climate program and led to the establishment of an office in 2007. Our presence in Vienna has been growing significantly in recent years to currently about 250 staff from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank) which is the largest global development institution to support the public sector, and our sister organization, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) focused exclusively on the private sector.

World Bank Vienna Internship Program
The World Bank in Vienna is offering qualified students the opportunity to participate in the World Bank Vienna Internship Program (VIEIP). The Program is designed to introduce a diverse group of qualified graduate students from universities based in Austria to the World Bank (WB) by offering hands-on opportunities to contribute to the development work that is being supported from the WB Vienna Office.

(i) opportunities for onboarding and training;
