                            ****************

    The Summer Employment Program re-opened on December 2, 1996.

                       SUMMER EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM

    The Summer Employment Program is the World Bank's only internship
    program.  It is open to students who are nationals of the Bank's
    member countries.  Each year a large number of highly qualified
    candidates apply to the Program.

    The World Bank does not offer unpaid or volunteer positions at any
    time.  All Summer positions are located in Washington, D.C. The
    Summer Employment Program is not a means of entry into the World
    Bank.  Summer Assistants' contracts will not be extended beyond
    the end of October, or converted to any other type of employment
    in the Bank until the Fall semester is completed.

        Candidates for the Program must possess a bachelor's degree,
    and be enrolled in a full-time graduate study program--pursuing a
    master's degree or a Ph.D., and must have plans to return as a
    full-time student in the Fall semester.

        The Program generally requires experience in business
    concentrations such as:  economics, finance, and statistics. Needs
    also occur in other disciplines, such as: agriculture,
    environment, information systems, and social sciences. Candidates
    must have strong computer skills. Knowledge of World Bank Group
    languages (Arabic, Chinese, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish)
    is useful; fluency in English is required. Relevant work
    experience is an added advantage.

    The Bank pays a monthly salary to all Summer Assistants,
    and where applicable, provides a travel allowance to contribute
    towards travel expenses. Assistants are responsible for their
    own living accommodations.

    The Summer Employment Program office is open from December
    through June of each year.

    If you are interested in applying for the 1997 season, a
    detailed curriculum vitae must be received by the SEP by
    January 31, 1997.
