National Internship Wave Two Reopens, Stipend Tied to Minimum

The government opened registration for the second wave of the national internship program for university graduates, with the registration period running from 6‑12 November 2025 and a quota of 80,000 participants. The scheme targets fresh graduates seeking work experience.

During the internship, participants receive a stipend equal to the regional minimum wage (UMK) and are covered by employment social security. Placements are made in companies, government agencies, or independent state institutions that meet the criteria, with selection and announcement scheduled for 12‑20 November 2025.

The initiative aims to boost the skills and competitiveness of young workers and serve as an economic stimulus for the labor market. The internship period runs from 24 November 2025 to 23 May 2026.
