First phase of 2026 National Internship registration opens Thursday

The Ministry of Manpower opened registration for participants in the National Internship Program, or MagangHub, Wave 2 of 2026 in its first phase starting Thursday. Prospective participants, intended for college graduates, can already register and choose internship openings at companies that have been cleared as implementing partners. Darmawansyah, Director General of Vocational Training and Productivity Development at Kemnaker, said company participation is important to expand access to quality internships that match labor market needs. For companies that have not passed, the system gives two notifications: "Penyelenggara Dalam Proses Verifikasi" and "Penyelenggara Ditolak". Companies with verification-in-progress status will automatically enter the next selection stage, while those rejected must reapply. Kemnaker also asked companies to complete WLKP data, ensure the openings are relevant, and prepare a curriculum aligned with the internship position.
