National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS)
The National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS), introduced in 2018, encourages industries to adopt apprenticeship training as a strategic workforce development initiative. Under NAPS, organizations can engage apprentices without the need to establish in-house training infrastructure, while benefiting from government incentives and CSR alignment.
This scheme enables cost-effective skill development, enhances operational efficiency, and supports long-term talent planning.
National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS)
Launched in 2022, the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS) focuses on apprenticeship opportunities for candidates with higher educational qualifications.
