“With the 'National Internship Programme', we have solved another important problem of our students in a fair and efficient way. The talent pool, where personal information is kept confidential, is another important program in which our institutions are increasingly popular in recruiting interns. Thus, we had the opportunity to meet the supply and demand of intern human resources without leaving any room for any intermediary and its doubts. Everyone's reference in this system; its own ability, experience and vision. In the last 2 years, more than 160 young people have had the opportunity to do internships in public institutions through this program, whose wages and insurance are covered by the state. The fact that the program has been cited as an exemplary practice by the OECD is a sign that we are heading in the right direction.”

Even talents from other countries head to Turkey to work in our companies that have become global brands. There are foreign companies that have opened a call to employ thousands of Turkish citizens. We have come to this point. Someone had to make do with a few applications because for a well-educated young man, working in our country is much more attractive than working abroad in all respects.” he said.

President Erdoğan continued his speech as follows:

“Next year, we are increasing the number of intern students in our National Internship Program to 150 thousand. We also ensure that the internship periods can be extended up to 3 months depending on the mutual consent between the student and the institution. Our expectation from the private sector is that they will support us to increase this number to 150 thousand by giving internship opportunities to 300 thousand students under similar conditions. We will join hands, we will be in solidarity and we will make our leap in an instant.

On this occasion, I would like to give good news to our young people. As of today, we are opening applications for the National Internship Program for 2023. In addition, as of 30, we are increasing the amount that corresponds to 2023 percent of the minimum wage we pay for summer internships to the minimum wage level. In addition, we are expanding the Talent Management Model, which we developed to ensure that our students can continue to work part-time after their internship. We have completed the preparations of Turkey's human resources inventory, which we know has been expected for a long time by both the public and private sectors. As the next step, we started the work of 2023-2027 Strategic Human Resources planning in order to determine the human resources with the skills and effectiveness that the public and private sectors will need in the future. Our aim is to carry out a comprehensive planning that will pave the way for us to train the human resources that Turkey will need until 2053, with the participation of all parties.”
