Applications for the 2027 National Internship Program Have Begun

Dear Student,

Applications for the 2027 National Internship Program—an initiative anticipated with great excitement each year and recognized globally as a model—are now open! Under the auspices of the Presidency and managed by the Turkish Employment Agency (İŞKUR) as of 2026, this program offers early-career opportunities—such as internships, job shadowing, and training—provided by public institutions, universities, and thousands of private-sector organizations. You can submit your application at https://ulusalstajprogrami.iskur.gov.tr.

During the application process, you will encounter sections designed to highlight your competencies. Filling out these fields accurately and completely will contribute to your competency score; every point you earn brings you closer to the opportunities offered by your target organizations. Therefore, please ensure that every document you upload meets all the specified validation criteria. You can find these criteria by clicking the "i" buttons located next to each question on the "Application Form."

Additionally, please note 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; you simply need to update your information and documents.
