National Internship Programme Batch 4 to Open in July, Check the Requirements
The government is set to reopen the fourth batch of the National Internship Programme (PMN) in July 2026. This programme is specifically designed for recent university graduates.
The programme is planned to be implemented in three waves. For the first wave in the coming July, the government is targeting 50,000 participants.
“The National Internship Programme Batch 4 will be implemented gradually starting July 2026, with an initial plan of approximately 50,000 participants in the first wave, followed by a second and third wave to reach a total of 150,000 participants by the end of the year,” stated Kurnia, as quoted from a press release on Thursday (24/6/2026).
The programme has received widespread support from various sectors. In total, there are 8,056 partner organisers, consisting of 5,168 private companies and 2,888 work units from ministries and government agencies. Kurnia explained that the number of partner companies has increased with each subsequent batch.
“Among the total partners, there are 874 State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN) entities participating as organising partners,” he added.
Looking at the industrial mapping, the state-owned banking sector is the largest contributor, providing 1,033 internship programmes. This is followed by private hospitals (191 programmes), management consultancy (168 programmes), food and beverage trade (167 programmes), and the property and asset management industry (151 programmes).
Kurnia explained that the registration process begins with partner companies and agencies posting internship vacancies and submitting their requirements for available positions. Following this, prospective participants can apply through the MagangHub platform, selecting a maximum of two positions that align with their interests and areas of expertise.
“Prospective participants apply through the MagangHub platform at maganghub.kemnaker.go.id, choosing no more than two internship positions according to their interests and expertise,” he said.
After the registration process, companies will conduct selection and announce recruitment results through the same platform. Successful participants will then sign an Internship Agreement and undergo a six-month internship period.
During the six-month internship, participants will receive several benefits, including a monthly allowance equivalent to the regional minimum wage (UMP/UMK), social security, and an official internship certificate. Furthermore, participants will have a significant opportunity to be absorbed directly as permanent employees at their internship companies.
While participating in the programme, participants are required to complete daily reports through a monitoring and evaluation system available at monev.maganghub.kemnaker.go.id, which must be validated by their respective mentors. Upon completing the programme, participants will receive an Internship Certificate and have the opportunity to undergo competency certification through the SertifHub platform.
