The National Apprenticeship Training Scheme, a flagship programme from Government of India aims at skilling India to meet the present and future manpower requirements. This scheme bridges the gap existing in the market place, between the employer’s requirement in an employee and the talent pool of students available in the open market. It allows the organisations to recruit fresh qualified candidates to train them for one year with stipend reimbursement from Government of India and absorb them on regular roles if the need arises. The apprentices are governed solely by the Apprentices Act 1961 and further Amendments. The organisation engaging apprentices should possess the requisite infrastructure and training facilities to impart on the job training (OJT) to the apprentices. The National Apprenticeship Scheme thus helps in building a steady pool of talent, which is industry ready; to meet the Human Resource needs of an organisation, at an optimum cost. Selection of apprentices is an industry prerogative and they can adopt any convenient method for the selection of Apprentices.
