I have a masters degree in law and have been advising on PPP projects in infrastructure and energy sectors in emerging markets. Would this experieince be considered relevant for the YPP?

Hi WBG YPP,I am a Development Practitioner with 5 years of experience in project management and gender mainstreaming. I will complete my MA in Development studies by September 2020. Do you think that I could apply for the YPP program of the WBG this month, considering that I won't have my academic transcripts ready and won't finish my dissertation by this month?By the way, thank you so much for setting up this discussion space on the program.

For our 3 references - what is the WB looking for? How many and what kinds of questions will be asked? How much time are references expected to spend on providing their recommendation? This information will enable us to approach and prepare our references.

I am a recent graduate and I am interested in this programme as I meet all your eligibility requirements for the IFC (YPP programme) with the exception of the 4 years of experience. I wanted to know if you are always "strict" with that specific requirements because it currently serves as the only show stopper for me in pursuing this opportunity.
