The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation comprised of 38 member countries, that works to build better policies for better lives. Our mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. Together with governments, policy makers and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards, and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting.
The OECD 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 policy making, research and analysis. The Programme provides support for talented students with an interest in policy making who wish to pursue future postgraduate studies.
Young Associates work closely with senior managers, gaining exposure to tackling some of today’s most pressing social and economic policy challenges. Day-to-day tasks may involve background research, drafting, liaising with partners internally and externally, and assisting in the coordination of events ranging from policy forums to ministerial conferences. Senior managers will act as mentors throughout the programme, with a focus on developing professional competences and research expertise – and providing a solid foundation for future academic success.
