As part of the program, implemented in collaboration with Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University and İŞKUR, young people will gain both workforce experience and receive income support. University students will have the opportunity to work in fields that align with their interests and talents while continuing their education. Participants who can work a maximum of three days a week will receive a daily payment of 1,083 TL, while those who participate for 14 days will receive approximately 15,162 TL in income support. Short-term insurance premiums will be covered by the government. Participants may take up to 10 (ten) days of leave on the designated days of participation, provided they inform the contractor and receive approval. Participants will not be paid during the leave period, and their Social Security Institution (SGK) reporting will be based on the remaining time, minus any absences.
The program will run from November 3, 2025, to May 24, 2026.
