İŞKUR Youth Program prepares for 2026-2027 academic cycle

The İŞKUR Youth Program, which provides work experience and financial support to university students, is preparing for the 2026-2027 period. While a centralized application calendar for all universities has not yet been announced, application processes vary by institution. For instance, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University has already released announcements regarding its specific application period.

Students are advised to monitor their own universities' official channels, such as rectorate or student affairs offices, as deadlines and quotas differ between schools. Applications are conducted digitally through the İŞKUR e-Branch or the İŞKUR Youth Platform.

To be eligible, applicants must be Turkish citizens, at least 18 years old, and actively enrolled in formal education (associate, undergraduate, master's, or doctoral levels) at a state university. Students in open education or distance learning programs are not eligible. Other requirements include being registered with İŞKUR, not receiving old-age or disability pensions, and meeting specific household income criteria.
