Live Session with Former WBG Intern, Blessing Omiwale

​The World Bank Group has officially opened applications for the WBG Pioneers Internship, and many aspiring global leaders are asking the same question:

​“How do I position myself to actually stand out?”

​Instead of guessing, join us for a practical and honest conversation with Blessing Omiwale, a former World Bank Group intern, as she shares her firsthand experience navigating the application process from positioning and storytelling to what applicants often overlook.

​In this session, we’ll discuss her personal perspective on:

​✨ What the World Bank is looking for
✨ How to frame your academic and leadership experiences effectively
✨ Common mistakes applicants make and how to avoid them
✨ Practical insights from someone who has successfully gone through the process

​Whether you are a final-year undergraduate, a master’s student, or currently pursuing a PhD with an interest in global development, this conversation is designed to give you clarity and confidence as you prepare your application.
