Event

Waseda University is pleased to announce special career seminar hosted by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) is a regional multilateral development institution established in 1959 to accelerate economic and social development in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Since the signing of an agreement between Waseda and IDB in 2018, many of our students have been kindly selected for internships at the IDB headquarters in Washington, D.C.

In this seminar, Mr. Paul El-Meouchy, Talent Solutions Lead, Human Resources at the IDB, and Mr. Taro Seriu, Representative, Office in Asia at the IDB, will discuss the IDB’s organization and operations, the internship program with Waseda University, and potential international career paths.

This is a must-attend event for anyone who is interested in internships at the IDB, who aspires to work globally, or who is curious about international organizations in general.

We look forward to welcoming many students and members of the public.
