Applications open for Turkey’s National Internship Programme
Turkey’s National Internship Programme has opened applications for students seeking early career experience.
The programme is run under the presidency’s auspices, with support from the Ministry of Labour and Social Security and coordination by İŞKUR.
It offers internships in public institutions and private companies, giving students a chance to gain work experience while still studying.
Applicants are assessed on academic and professional, artistic and social, and sporting abilities, as well as their achievements.
Employers make offers without seeing applicants’ identity or university details, using their scores in those areas.
The programme aims to improve young people’s employment prospects and widen access to career opportunities across university fields.
The application opening has been announced, but no deadline is stated.
