Applications for the 2026 National Internship Program Have Opened!

Dear Student,

Applications for the 2026 National Internship Program, which is eagerly anticipated each year and recognized internationally as a model program, have now opened. As of 2026, the Program will be implemented by the Turkish Employment Agency (İŞKUR) under the auspices of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye. Through this Program, you may 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 organizations, universities, and thousands of private sector companies.

During the application process, you will encounter information fields designed to highlight your competencies. Completing these fields accurately and thoroughly will contribute to your competency score, and each point you earn will bring you closer to the opportunities offered by your target institutions and organizations. Therefore, you should ensure that every document you upload fully meets all approval criteria. The relevant criteria can be found by clicking the “i” icons next to each question in the “Application Form.”

We would also like to remind you that having applied for or participated (or not participated) in an internship, job shadowing, or training program in previous years does not prevent you from applying again this year, provided that you update your information and documents.
