The Program offers eligible students of member countries the opportunity to learn about ADB mission and operation. Interns are based at ADB headquarters in Manila, Philippines or in one of our 26 other offices according to identified assignments. Upon completion, interns are expected to present a final report in an ADB-wide forum.

• work in a major international development organization with a multicultural environment
• gain a deeper understanding of development finance and the impact of ADB;
• learn from experienced professionals; and
• present internship outputs in a public forum at ADB.

All applications MUST be enrolled in the schools invited and submit applications through school coordinators.

ADB values competence, results, integrity, dedication, client-orientation, teamwork and diversity in gender and nationality. Consequently, we look for those qualities in interns.

ADB pays all interns a limited amount of stipend. Interns are responsible for other expenses including airfare to internship locations and own living accommodations. ADB supports interns to obtain visa for the assigned locations if needed.
