How Do ASELSAN’s Internship and Candidate Engineering Programs Work?

Short answer: ASELSAN offers students opportunities such as a summer internship and a vocational-training internship, along with a Candidate Engineering Program for final-year engineering students. Internship applications are mostly made through the official careers/talent program pages, generally during certain periods of the year. The Candidate Engineering Program is one in which academically high-achieving final-year students work part-time, strengthening the likelihood of employment after graduation. The application flow is usually online application → CV/transcript → technical test → interview → security clearance.
