Registration for Internship Vacancies with Minimum Wage Pay Closes 28 July 2026
The Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) has announced that registration for participants of the National Internship Programme (MagangeHub) Second Cohort, First Batch, remains open until 28 July 2026. University and professional education graduates who meet the requirements can take advantage of this opportunity to gain work experience and improve their competencies before entering the workforce.
Director General for Vocational Training and Productivity Development (Binalavotas) at Kemnaker, Darmawansyah, said MagangeHub Second Cohort, First Batch forms part of the target of 150,000 participants in 2026. Its implementation is divided into three batches, each with a quota of 50,000 participants.
“We invite university and professional education graduates who meet the requirements to take advantage of this opportunity. MagangeHub serves as a means to gain work experience, improve competencies, and strengthen readiness to enter the workforce,” said Darmawansyah in a statement on Wednesday (22 July 2026).
After registration closes on 28 July 2026, the process will continue with participant selection until 5 August 2026. This will be followed by a plenary session and confirmation of participants on 6 August 2026, the announcement of selection results on 7 August 2026, the start of internships on 10 August 2026, and the official launch of the National Internship Programme Second Cohort, First Batch, 2026 scheduled for 11 August 2026.
According to Darmawansyah, MagangeHub introduces a number of regulatory and technical guideline improvements to raise the quality of its implementation whilst providing broader benefits for both participants and host partners.
One such improvement is giving all participants the opportunity to take part in competency certification tests organised by the National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP) after completing their internship period. These competency certificates are expected to add value for participants in enhancing their competitiveness in the labour market.
In addition, Kemnaker has expanded the programme’s target by opening opportunities to graduates of professional education programmes, such as those in health, education, accounting, engineering, and other professions. Participants from the professional education pathway may join the programme provided their professional certificate was obtained no more than two years after the date of their diploma or bachelor’s degree graduation.
“This policy was drawn up to accommodate the characteristics of professional education, which requires strengthening of practical experience before entering the workforce in full,” said Darmawansyah.
During the six-month programme, participants receive an allowance based on the Regency or City Minimum Wage according to the location of the host partner. Participants are also covered by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan protection, which includes the Work Accident Insurance Programme (JKK) and Death Insurance (JKM).
To support the quality of the programme’s implementation, Kemnaker has strengthened coordination with manpower agencies at provincial and regency or city level. Monitoring is carried out periodically to ensure that mentoring by supervisors runs according to the curriculum and that host partners provide a safe and healthy working environment that supports participants’ learning.
The latest technical guidelines also accommodate host partners that implement a six-day working week. The arrangements cover the duration and work schedules of participants, rights to rest time, adjustment of working hours in accordance with labour regulations, and mechanisms for resignation or termination of participants, along with the rights and obligations of each party.
These arrangements also cover internships during collective leave periods, national holidays, and other special circumstances. The provisions include schedule adjustments, calculation of the internship period, the conduct of learning activities during holiday periods, and the fulfilment of participants’ rights, so that the implementation of MagangeHub can run more orderly, effectively, and deliver optimal benefits for all parties.
