The World Trade Organization (WTO) is inviting applications for its Young Trade Leaders Programme, an initiative aimed at fostering a better understanding of the WTO’s work and international trade among young people and creating a network of Young Trade Leaders around the world.

Young Trade Leaders will be exceptional young people who have a clear understanding of how trade can be of benefit to people and planet. They will bring fresh perspectives and ideas about the role of trade and the WTO while also having the opportunity to learn about the organization’s work and advance its mission.

    • gain a greater understanding of the workings of the WTO and international trade
    • publish articles, blogs, podcasts and social media content on trade-related topics
    • attend an in-person one-day training programme at the WTO in Geneva
    • contribute to and/or coordinate a session at the Public Forum 2024
    • benefit from existing WTO training programmes

    • a citizen of a WTO member
    • neither currently affiliated with the WTO, nor have a relative who is currently WTO-affiliated
