Ministry of Manpower Reopens MagangHub Internship Vacancies with UMP-Equivalent Salary, Here Are the Dates

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) will open registration for participants of the National Internship Programme (MagangHub) Batch II, Wave 2 of 2026 on 3-8 September 2026. Prospective participants can begin preparing by examining the internship fields they are interested in before the registration period opens.

Minister of Manpower Yassierli said that early preparation is important so that prospective participants can choose internship fields that match their interests and competencies. According to him, this programme needs to provide experience that supports the development of participants’ competencies.

“We want this internship to be an opportunity for participants to gain work experience and learning that is relevant to their competencies, not merely to join a programme. Therefore, prospective participants need to prepare themselves and examine the most suitable opportunities,” Yassierli said in a press release on Thursday (20/8/2026).

Before participant registration opens, internship provider partners consisting of companies and ministries/institutions will register internship opportunities on 21-31 August 2026. These opportunities will then be verified and published by the Ministry of Manpower on 1-3 September 2026.

The series of the National Internship Programme Batch II, Wave 2 begins with programme socialisation on 17-20 August 2026. Once internship information is available, prospective participants can examine the fields and requirements before registering on 3-8 September 2026.

Participants who have registered will then undergo a recruitment and nomination process by provider partners on 9-15 September 2026. The Ministry of Manpower will then conduct selection and determine participants on 16-18 September 2026, with selection results scheduled to be announced on 18 September 2026. Participants who are declared successful will begin their internships on 21 September 2026.

Yassierli emphasised that the quality of internship implementation is also an important part of ensuring the programme provides real benefits for participants. Therefore, provider partners are expected to ensure that the learning process at internship sites runs well.

“Internship provider partners need to ensure that participants receive relevant learning opportunities and work experience during the internship. In this way, the programme can provide real benefits for the development of participants’ competencies,” said the man familiarly known as Profmen.
