As the network of prominent global citizens working to foster strong, effective Bretton Woods institutions, the Bretton Woods Committee hosted an informal panel discussion to explore the many career options at the international financial institutions (IFIs).

The work of the international financial institutions provides critical and technical assistance to the private sector and member governments in order to promote stability, alleviate poverty, and expand trade. To achieve these goals, the institutions recruit specialists and generalists to advance their work in many different sectors. Recent graduate and graduate-level students are particularly encouraged to attend and learn more about the work of and various paths to success at the IFIs.
