Dear Students,
The applications for the 2026 National Internship Program—an initiative eagerly anticipated each year and recognized worldwide as an exemplary program—have now opened! As of 2026, the Program will be carried out under the auspices of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye and administered by the Turkish Employment Agency (İŞKUR). Within the scope of the Program, you may apply via [https://ulusalstajprogrami.iskur.gov.tr](https://ulusalstajprogrami.iskur.gov.tr) to benefit from early-stage career opportunities such as internships, job shadowing, and training offered by public institutions and organizations, universities, and thousands of private-sector organizations.
During the application process, you will encounter information sections designed to highlight your competencies. Completing these sections accurately and in full will contribute to your competency score, and each additional point you receive will bring you closer to the opportunities available at your target institutions/organizations. Therefore, you must ensure that every document you upload meets all verification criteria. The criteria are available under the “i” icons located next to each question in the “Application Form.”
In addition, please note that having applied for and/or participated (or not participated) in an internship/job shadowing or training opportunity in previous years does not prevent you from updating your information/documents and applying again this year.
