Bashkortostan signs 9.2 million ruble internship deal for 65 employers

Bashkortostan, a Russian republic, has concluded a 9.2 million ruble agreement for 65 employers to hold internships. According to the republic’s Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Protection, the programme is part of the national project “Kadry” (Personnel) and is carried out through personnel centres.

The subsidy helps companies cover mentoring costs and partly compensates trainees’ wages. The minimum wage payment, increased by insurance contributions not covered by the state budget, will be 40.6 thousand rubles in 2026. Internships last up to six months.

According to the ministry, around 17,000 young specialists have taken part in the internship programme since 2009. Since the start of the year, 415 graduates of higher and secondary educational institutions and schools have applied to regional personnel centres of “Rossiya Rabota” for help. Based on last year’s results, about 70 percent of young people placed with the centres’ assistance found jobs.
