TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The registration for Indonesia's national internship program "Siap Kerja" will be open from October 7 to 13, 2025. This internship program is for D3, D4, and S1 college graduates and is one of the eight acceleration programs for development launched by the government in 2025, as part of the economic stimulus package 8+4+5.
The opportunity is open to fresh graduates who have graduated within the last year. They will have the opportunity to intern at state-owned or private companies affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin). Interns will receive a salary equivalent to the provincial minimum wage (UMP).
Minister of Manpower Yassierli stated that the quota for internship workers prepared is 20,000 participants. The government will distribute this quota proportionally to each province, based on the number of graduates from that region.
He mentioned that there are no special document requirements for applicants. Interns are participants with data integrated with the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology.
"So we already have data from the past year on who the graduates are. Therefore, it is sufficient to match when they register in the 'Siap Kerja' account," Yassierli told reporters at Wisma Danantara, Jakarta, on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.
What is required to participate in the national "Siap Kerja" internship program?
Sunardi Manampiar Sinaga, the Head of Public Relations at the Ministry of Manpower, said that participants can register from October 7 to 13. Participants can register through the "Siap Kerja" platform, which is managed by the Ministry of Manpower. "The internship will begin on October 15," Sunardi told Tempo on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.
