The Junior Professional Programme (JPP) is a starting point for careers at the Inter-American Development Bank. The Bank has traditionally sought skills in areas such as economics, finance, engineering, business, management, law, education, health, and public administration. New areas of emphasis, which have emerged and are also of interest to the Bank include: trade, labor, modernization of the state, governance, the environment, and women in development. Each year the Bank determines the number of participants in the Junior Professional Programme based upon budgetary allocations; between five and ten Junior Professionals will normally be on board at any one time. Participants selected for the Programme are offered a 24-month contract with the Bank. Junior Professionals begin with two twelve-month assignments in different Departments, and are treated as full-fledged staff members with specific responsibilities. Junior Professionals may be assigned to the Country Offices as part of the Programme. There is also a special recruitment effort aimed at fro-Descendants and Indigenous Peoples, called the Diversity Junior Professional Programme.
