This program is part of the 2026 economic stimulus policy package designed by the government to strengthen the transition of college graduates, including graduates of professional education, into the workforce through direct work experience and on-the-job learning.
Yassierli emphasized that internships should be a space for developing competencies and professionalism, not simply an administrative requirement.

After undergoing national-level verification and selection, 46,160 participants were declared successful and selected for Batch 1 of Class II. Meanwhile, 242 prospective participants were not selected due to not meeting the requirements during the final verification.
