All students who will undertake a compulsory summer internship must complete their internship application and approval procedures through our website, arelkariyer.arel.edu.tr/ogrenci/login, before starting their internship and no later than the deadlines specified in the table above.

 

Students who will undertake their internship through the Presidency’s Career Gateway National Internship Program may have internship start dates that differ from those specified above. In the internship date selection section on the ArelKariyer website, students must select the date offered by the National Internship Program. Dates selected other than the date offered by the National Internship Program will not be considered valid. If the date offered through the National Internship Program is not available in the system, students must contact the ArelKAM Office.

 

To apply for an internship, students must log in to the ArelKariyer website and follow INTERNSHIP > INTERNSHIP APPLICATION. Students are required to complete all four steps on the internship application screen. Once the steps have been completed, students must have the Internship Approval Form in Step 4 stamped and signed by the company where they will undertake their internship and submit the approved form to the Career Center. The internship application and approval process will be considered complete upon submission of the Internship Approval Form to the Career Center. (For further information about internship procedures, students may refer to the internship guide and instructional video available through the links below.)

 

Students who have completed the compulsory internship procedures can access their Compulsory Internship Logbook by following INTERNSHIP > INTERNSHIP STATUS in the left-hand menu of ArelKariyer. The internship logbook must be printed and completed in full, day by day, throughout the internship using a blue or black ballpoint pen. After the internship is completed, the logbook must be submitted to the Career Center within two months at the latest.

 

All students who are required to undertake a compulsory internship and have completed their internship procedures will be covered by Internship Insurance (Occupational Accident and Occupational Disease Insurance). The Internship Insurance Registration Document (SGK Employment Entry Notification) can be obtained in PDF format a few days before the internship start date by logging into the ArelKariyer website and following INTERNSHIP > INTERNSHIP STATUS in the left-hand menu.
