Internship (World Bank)

Yao Jiling　GSICS, 1st Year Doctoral Student

Under the mentorship of a Senior Education Specialist at the World Bank, I had the privilege of participating in a two-month internship through the GNP. This experience provided invaluable exposure to research methodologies, policy analysis, and professional interactions in an international setting. I engaged in stimulating tasks, including reviewing and synthesizing World Bank literature, conducting data analysis, and examining related academic works. One key takeaway was enhancing my time management and multitasking skills. Juggling literature review, data analysis, and meetings taught me to prioritize tasks and stay efficient under pressure. The fast-paced environment refined my organizational skills and systematic thinking. Beyond technical and analytical skills, GNP fostered personal and professional growth. Discussions encouraged a holistic policy perspective, while research and collaboration sharpened both hard and soft skills. This enriching experience solidified my research capabilities and commitment to impactful scholarship. I am deeply grateful for this opportunity.
