Dear Students,

As of 2026, the Program will be carried out by the Turkish Employment Agency (İŞKUR) under the auspices of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye. Through this Program, you can benefit from early career opportunities such as internships, job shadowing, and training programs offered by public institutions and organizations, universities, and thousands of private sector companies. To apply, please visit: https://ulusalstajprogrami.iskur.gov.tr

During the application process, you will encounter information fields that will highlight your competencies. Filling in these sections accurately and completely will contribute to your competency score and increase your chances of accessing opportunities at your target institutions and organizations. Therefore, make sure that every document you upload meets all verification criteria. The criteria can be found by clicking the “i” buttons next to each question in the “Application Form.”

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