2026 GLOBAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

Are you ready to take your first step towards a career in international development and infrastructure investment?

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is pleased to announce the launch of the 2026 Global Internship Program. This program offers a unique opportunity for highly motivated individuals to gain unparalleled experience at a dynamic multilateral development bank committed to fostering sustainable economic development and improving infrastructure in Asia.

About the Global Internship Program

The AIIB Global Internship Program is designed to provide young professionals with:

• Hands-on Experience: Engage directly with AIIB’s projects, initiatives, and operations.
• Professional Development: Work alongside experienced professionals in a multicultural environment.
• Exposure to MDB Work in Infrastructure Financing: Understand the unique challenges and opportunities of infrastructure financing in Asia.

Internship Types

The AIIB Global Internship Program provides two distinct pathways to offer students meaningful professional and academic experiences:

1. Corporate Internship

It is designed to immerse students in project-based work addressing AIIB’s key business needs. Interns may engage in either a Collaborative Project, where teams of 2-3 interns pitch and execute innovative solutions to business challenges, or an Individual Project, where they independently manage and deliver tangible outcomes for specific assignments.

2. Research/Academic Internship

This flexible internship focuses on specialized, research-intensive projects, ideal for students seeking opportunities during their academic semesters. It can be conducted remotely or in person, allowing interns to contribute to AIIB’s strategic goals through comprehensive research and targeted deliverables over an extended period.

Eligibility

Applicants must have excellent academic records and professional qualifications while possessing strong communication, analytical, organizational and interpersonal skills. The program is open to candidates of any citizenship.

• Education: Candidates must be enrolled in a full-time masteral or doctoral study program from an internationally recognized institution with plans to return to school. Candidates working toward degrees in areas aligned with AIIB’s institutional goals are preferred.
• Experience: Relevant professional work experience (including summer jobs and internships) would be an advantage, but not necessary.
• Communication: Fluent in oral and written English.
