Applications for the National Internship Program, eagerly awaited every year and cited as an example worldwide, have begun for 2026.
Starting in 2026, under the auspices of the Presidency and administered by the Turkish Employment Agency (İŞKUR), the Program will allow you 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 organizations.
Applications are made through the following address: https://ulusalstajprogrami.iskur.gov.tr.
During the application process, you will encounter information sections that highlight your skills. Completing these sections accurately and completely will contribute to your skill score and facilitate your access to opportunities at your target institutions/organizations. You must ensure that each document you upload meets the approval criteria specified in the system. These criteria can be found in the “i” (information) buttons next to each question on the application form.
Having applied to or participated in the National Internship Program for internships, job shadowing, or training in previous years does not prevent you from applying for the 2026 program. You can reapply by updating your information and documents.
