Young Professional Development Program

The OPEC Fund’s Young Professional Development Program (YPDP) is a structured two-year program that has been designed to attract and develop young professionals from the OPEC Fund’s Member Countries. The program equips young professionals with the skills and knowledge to meet the minimum requirements for an entry-level position with the OPEC Fund. 
 
Under the structured talent management program, participants will have the opportunity to contribute to achieving the OPEC Fund’s vision of a world where sustainable development is a reality for all. YPDP participants spend at least 50 percent of the program in a ‘home’ department / unit and rotate to other departments for the remainder of their time. This enables participants to broaden their experience and benefit from differing coaching and mentoring styles, while building their professional network. After participants have successfully completed the two-year program, they may be offered a job at the OPEC Fund, based on their performance and the business need.
