The WTO Young Professionals Programme (YPP) is aimed at candidates aged 32 or younger as of 1 January 2026 from developing or least-developed WTO members that are under-represented at the professional level in the WTO Secretariat. It offers hands-on experience in addressing international trade issues and participating in WTO work. Selected candidates will be placed in a division that aligns with their interests and the WTO’s needs.
Launched in 2016, the Young Professionals Programme (YPP) is a technical assistance programme overseen by the WTO’s Institute for Training and Technical Co-operation. It is financed by members’ voluntary contributions to the WTO Global Trust Fund.
