The Young Associates Programme (YAP) - OECD
Date and Time
Saturday, December 21, 2024
Description
The Young Associates Programme (YAP) is a two-year programme targeted at recent undergraduates who wish to gain a significant first professional experience in the world of multilateral policymaking, research and analysis. It is designed to act as a springboard for them to pursue postgraduate studies at top-ranked universities.
Programme overview
The YAP is an exciting opportunity that offers professional experience at the cutting edge of public policy development and analysis. The YAP is a 24-month programme designed to expose recent undergraduates to a variety of research and analytical work on major policy areas.
The purpose of the Programme is to prepare outstanding undergraduates for their future postgraduate studies. As such, successful candidates must clearly articulate how they are motivated to use their experience at the OECD to pursue a Master’s degree or PhD, after completing the Programme.
A key component of the Programme is mentorship. During the two-year work at the OECD, the Young Associates will be closely mentored by their managers. Managers are therefore selected based on their professional experience, policy expertise, and ability to collaborate with, challenge, and develop young talented individuals.
To be eligible for the YAP 2024-2026 round, candidates must:
- Hold a Bachelor’s or equivalent degree with graduation date between 1 January 2023 and 1 September 2024 in the academic field related to the position(s) of interest (Applications from candidates who already hold or are enrolled in a Master’s, PhD, or equivalent degree are not considered);
- Hold a nationality of an OECD Member country (Applications from candidates who are not OECD Member country nationals are not considered);
- Demonstrate overall academic achievement with a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.0 out of a 4.0 scale (Please see the GPA conversion tool);
- Show evidence of being able to work constructively in a team;
- Have fluency in one of the two OECD official languages (English and French) and a commitment to reach a good working level of the other after joining the OECD;
- Demonstrate the ability to contribute as a Young Associate in the area of work, as well as demonstrate motivation to pursue a graduate degree in a relevant field after completing the Programme.
