What is NIP?

The National Internship Program (USP) has been launched by the Presidential Human Resources Office to ensure that our young people benefit from the internship opportunities offered by public institutions and private sector organizations within the framework of equal opportunity and in accordance with the principles of merit.

Benefits

Through the program; It is aimed to increase the employability of our young people with a transparent, traceable and innovative evaluation method, to support equal opportunities in accessing career opportunities, and to extend internship opportunities to all departments, not limited to technical departments that require compulsory internship.

Students applying to the program; They are evaluated based on their academic/vocational, artistic/social and sports proficiency scores, taking into account their performance throughout their education life, their efforts to improve their skills and their achievements. Employers, on the other hand, send internship offers to students based on the scores they receive in the relevant competency areas, without seeing their identity information.

In addition to its success at home, the Programme, which is followed with admiration abroad and has been cited as an exemplary practice to member countries twice by the OECD, gives many young people at the beginning of their professional lives the chance to experience business life and direct their career journey while they are still students.

Who Can Apply?

-Continuing their education at universities in Turkey, TRNC and abroad and having a GPA* of at least 2 out of 4 (equivalent in other systems);

-2nd, 3rd or 4th year students of undergraduate programs providing formal education (except for medical faculties and teaching departments),

1st or 2nd year students of associate degree programs that provide formal education, and Turkish Citizens or Blue Card holders who continue their master's/doctoral education at universities abroad with a grade point average of at least 2 out of 4 (equivalent in other systems).

**Date of the internship; It is expected that 2nd year undergraduate and 1st year associate degree students have moved up to the next grade, 4th year undergraduate and 2nd year associate degree students have not graduated, and the GPA of 1st year associate degree students is expected to be above 2.
