Deadline: 21 June 2013
Open to: citizens 32 years and younger of member countries of the African Development Bank Group (see list HERE) with a Master’s degree or equivalent in Economics, Engineering, Social Sciences, International Development, Business Administration, Finance

Description

The Young Professionals Program (YPP) targets motivated and talented individuals under thirty-two (32) years of age, who are committed to African development, have demonstrated outstanding academic and professional achievements, and have demonstrated effective team work as well as leadership potential.

The African Development Bank (AfDB) hires approximately 20 young professionals each year. Young Professionals (YP) complete a mandatory minimum of two years and maximum of three years on rotational assignments in different organizational units and sectors within the Bank. YPs will undergo on-the-job training and mentoring that will equip them with skills, knowledge and experience to address developmental issues in Africa in particular and the developing world in general. Upon successful completion of the program, the YPs will be equipped to compete for any relevant job vacancies in the AfDB.

The AfDB’s Ten-Year Strategy 2013 – 2022 objectives are predicated on Inclusive Growth and Transition to Green Growth.

  • The core priority areas are Infrastructure, Regional Integration, Private Sector, Governance, as well as Skills and Technology.
  • The areas of special emphasis are Fragile States, Agriculture and Food Security, and Gender

The first rotational assignment will be a ‘stretch’ or ‘learning’ rotation, intended to provide exposure to the Bank’s various departmental and developmental programs and processes. Individual work programs will reflect on-the-job learning that is central to the YPP.

The second rotational assignment will take place in one’s area of expertise or organizational unit (according to availability and demand) in which the YP hopes to remain for the mid to long term if selected on a competitive basis. The work program will provide a suitable level of experience and responsibility required to compete for a higher level position.

The Bank seeks to maintain its position as an employer of choice. Consequently, it offers an internationally competitive tax-free salary and benefits.
