        "content": "<p>The Cabinet Secretary, Teddy Indra Wijaya, believes that the National\nInternship Programme (MagangHub) can enable recent university graduates\nto be directly absorbed into the professional workforce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis programme serves as a tangible bridge for students who have\njust graduated to start working immediately and earn an income,\u201d said\nthe Cabinet Secretary during a press conference in Jakarta on\nMonday.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the government still faces a significant task in the\nlabour sector, particularly in efforts to ensure that the young\nworkforce can quickly enter the industrial sector.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the National Internship Programme, which has been\nrunning since last year, is a directive from President Prabost Subianto\nto address these challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe core idea is that students who have graduated, particularly\nthose with a Bachelor\u2019s degree, can undergo an internship-work period\nfor six months,\u201d said Teddy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, they will receive a significant income (stipend),\nranging from Rp3.5 million to even Rp6 million, depending on their work\nlocation, as it aligns with the minimum wage of the regency or city\nwhere they are stationed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He assessed that the first cohort of the National Internship\nProgramme for 2025 has received considerable enthusiasm from university\ngraduates.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the number of programme participants for 2026 has\nofficially been expanded to 150,000 people, with the internship\nprogramme targeted to commence in early August.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope this programme will continue to grow; last year the quota\nwas 100,000 people and this year it is 150,000, so the benefits can be\ndirectly felt by university alumni,\u201d said the Cabinet Secretary.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the participant quota for the first batch of the 2026\nNational Internship Programme is set at 50,000 people, with registration\nopening from 15 to 28 July.<\/p>\n<p>From the perspective of industrial partners, companies have until 15\nJuly to register and undergo the verification process to serve as\norganisers for this year\u2019s National Internship Programme.<\/p>\n<p>Following the conclusion of the participant registration period on 28\nJuly, candidates for the 2026 National Internship Programme will undergo\nverification and selection from 29 July to 5 August.<\/p>\n<p>Successful participants will be announced on 7 August, and the first\nday of the 2026 National Internship Programme (Batch I) will officially\ncommence on 10 August.<\/p>",
