THE NATIONAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM HAS LAUNCHED!

The National Internship Program is an early-career initiative implemented under the auspices of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye, with the support of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security and coordinated by the Turkish Employment Agency (İŞKUR). The program aims to enable young talent to benefit from career opportunities offered by public institutions and private sector organizations. Through this program, it is intended to enhance young people’s employability, promote equal opportunity in access to career prospects, and extend these opportunities across all university departments.

Students who apply to the National Internship Program are evaluated through a transparent and innovative method based on competency scores in academic/professional, artistic/social, and athletic areas. These scores are determined by taking into account applicants’ academic performance, activities aimed at developing skills, and overall achievements. Employers submit internship offers objectively, relying solely on these competency scores, without access to applicants’ personal identity or university information.

In addition to its success within Türkiye, the Program has attracted international recognition and has been cited by the OECD as an example of best practice. It offers many young people the opportunity to gain firsthand experience of professional life while still students and to develop early career awareness.
