Apprenticeship has, time and again, proven to be an effective solution for training and retaining world-class talent which is industry-ready. Along with enabling students to earn while learning in a workplace, an apprenticeship gives students a head start in their chosen careers. Apprenticeship is a skill-based training program wherein a person is engaged by a company as an apprentice and gains classroom (theory – 30%) learning for a short period, followed by on-the-job (practical – 70%) training. In this article, complementing the video, we discuss the two most important apprenticeship schemes in India – National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) and National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS).

Apprenticeship schemes in India: NAPS and NATS

National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS)

National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) is from the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) and it was launched in August 2016. It involves basic training and on the job training.

Apprenticeships helps students be industry-ready and to meet the requirements of the industry and growing needs of the organization. It helps students get better opportunities and work experience of working with some of the best organisations in the country in their respective field. Along with gaining practical knowledge, students also get an attractive stipend to meet their financial needs.
