National Apprenticeship
Training Scheme (NATS)
National Apprenticeship
Promotion Scheme (NAPS)
These are flagship programs initiated by the Government of India to promote apprenticeship training and enhance the employability of youth. The scheme falls under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) and is administered by the Directorate General of Training (DGT).
The primary objective of these schemes is to encourage employers to engage apprentices and to provide skill training to a large number of Indian youths. By doing so, the scheme aims to bridge the gap between industry requirements and the skills possessed by the workforce, ultimately fostering a more skilled and employable workforce.
What are the benefits to the companies under the NATS and NAPS scheme?
Financial Incentives: Employers participating in the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) are eligible for financial incentives. These incentives help offset the basic training costs associated with engaging apprentices, making it more attractive for companies to participate.
Cost-Effective Recruitment: Employing apprentices under NATS often proves to be a cost-effective way for companies to meet their manpower requirements. The stipends provided to apprentices are generally lower than regular employee salaries, making it an economical option for companies.
Enhanced Productivity: Apprentices who undergo training under NAPS contribute to the productivity of the company. As they gain practical skills and familiarity with the company's operations, they become valuable assets in meeting business objectives.
