Applications for the 2026 National Internship Program, highly anticipated every year and cited as a global example, have officially started!
As of 2026, the program will be executed by the Turkish Employment Agency (İŞKUR) under the auspices of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye. 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, universities, and thousands of private sector organizations.
During the application process, you will encounter fields designed to highlight your competencies. Filling out these fields accurately and completely will contribute to your competency score. Every point you earn will bring you closer to opportunities at your targeted institutions and organizations. Therefore, please ensure that every document you upload meets all approval criteria. These criteria can be found by clicking the “i” buttons next to each question in the “Application Form.”
Please note that having applied to, participated in, or not participated in internships, job shadowing, or training in previous years does not prevent you from updating your information/documents and applying again this year.
