Apprenticeship Management NATS

The Government of India created the National Apprentice Training Scheme to enhance employment possibilities and boost the nation's economic development.

NATS is normally a one-year programme in which technically qualified students are instructed to obtain the practical knowledge and abilities essential for their field of employment.
They get high-quality training from certified, reputable corporations, which may be federal, state, or private organisations with great facilities.
The CCEA (Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs) has approved a sum of 3054 crores for apprentices training under the NATS programme from 2021-22 to 2025-26 (March 31, 2026).
Because of increased youth employment, according to new guidelines posted on the official NATS website, the NATS programme will now provide training for graduates not just in technical domains, but also in general streams such as B.Sc., B.com., and B.A. The apprenticeship term for these courses might be anywhere from 6 months to 3 years.
Approximately 9 lakh apprentices will get formal training from industrial and commercial organisations. Apprentices who have finished their degree and diploma in Science, Engineering, Humanities, and Commerce will be given a NATS-approved revised stipend of Rs.9000/- and Rs.8000/- per month, respectively.
The Government of India provides financial help to employers who participate in NATS.

What is the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme?

The National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme is a Government of India effort to promote apprenticeships. The government provides cash compensation to organisations that promote and implement NAPS.

Typically, in a NAPS programme, an employer hires a trainee as an apprentice and trains them for 6-36 months, during which time the trainee acquires the skills required to perform the function in the organisation. The government reimburses the employer 7500/- for each apprentice in their organisation. Throughout the apprenticeship, the trainee receives a minimal salary.
