Dear Students, Applications for the 2026 National Internship Programme, eagerly anticipated each year and held up as an example worldwide, are now open! Under the auspices of the Presidency, the Programme will be run by the Turkish Employment Agency (İŞKUR) in 2026. You can apply via https://ulusalstajprogrami.iskur.gov.tr to benefit from early career opportunities such as internships, job shadowing and training offered by public institutions and organisations, universities and thousands of private sector organisations.
During the application process, you will encounter fields where you can highlight your competencies. Filling these fields correctly and completely will contribute to your competency score, and each point you earn will bring you closer to the opportunities at your target institutions/organisations. Therefore, you must ensure that every document you upload meets all the approval criteria. The criteria are listed in the ‘i’ buttons next to each question in the ‘Application Form’.
We would also like to remind you that if you have applied for an internship/job shadowing or training in previous years, whether you participated or not, you can still reapply this year by updating your information/documents.
