timestamp

00:00 Hi there.

00:01 Today we will be talking to some of my colleagues at the

00:04 World Bank Group who are part of the Young Professionals program.

00:07 Let's find them.

00:09 Hi Momo.

00:11 So you're part of the Africa team.

00:13 Could you tell us about a project that you're working on?

00:15 Sure,

00:15 I,

00:16 I recently worked as an instructor for the

00:19 World Bank Educational Technology Academy for Africa,

00:22 and it's truly inspiring to bring the promise of education

00:27 to those who need it most by leveraging inclusive technology.

00:30 As a YP,

00:32 projects like this make me feel like I am truly contributing to making

00:36 poverty history.

00:38 That's great.

00:38 Thank you.

00:41 Hi Amanda.

00:43 Good.

00:43 So rotations are part of the program.

00:45 Could you tell us about your experience?

00:47 Yes,

00:48 I did 2 rotations across the World Bank Group in IFC and MIGA for a year each.

00:53 I get to work on impactful projects and transactions across the globe.

00:57 That's great.

00:57 Thank you.

01:01 Hi Zay.

01:03 Um,

01:03 so would you have any advice for interested applicants

01:06 who are working on their applications right now?

01:08 Yeah,

01:09 I think forget about how competitive the process is.

01:12 Just focus on three things that make you stand out as a candidate,

01:15 that makes you different.

01:16 Think about why you love the work that you do.

01:19 Do your best,

01:20 and I'm sure you'll do just fine.

01:22 That's great.

01:22 Thank you.

01:24 And now that you've heard more about the young professionals program,

01:28 start working on your application.
