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.
- Networking Opportunities: Build connections with industry leaders and experts in the field of international development and finance.
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.
