Hi Azhaharasana,
National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS)
The National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) is a government initiative in India aimed at promoting apprenticeship training and providing financial incentives to employers. If you are looking to hire trainees under NAPS, here are some steps you can follow:
Register on the NAPS Portal
Visit the official NAPS website (https://apprenticeshipindia.org/). Create an employer account on the portal.
Complete Profile and Company Details
Fill in all the necessary details about your company, including contact information and industry details.
Provide Necessary Documentation
Upload relevant documents such as the company's registration certificate, PAN card, and other required documents.
Choose Apprenticeship Trade
Specify the trade or skill for which you want to hire apprentices.
Submit Apprenticeship Proposal
Submit a proposal for the number of apprentices you intend to hire, along with other relevant details.
Approval Process
The proposal will go through an approval process by the concerned authorities.
Approval Letter
Once approved, you will receive an approval letter from the authorities. This letter is crucial for hiring apprentices under NAPS.
Recruitment Process
After receiving approval, you can start the recruitment process for apprentices. You can either hire candidates who have already registered on the NAPS portal or conduct your own recruitment process and then register them on the portal.
Training Agreement
Sign a training agreement with the selected apprentices. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions of the apprenticeship.
Claiming Incentives
Fulfill the necessary requirements for claiming incentives offered under NAPS. This may include providing regular updates on the progress of apprentices, attendance records, and other required documentation.
Monitor Progress
Regularly monitor the progress of apprentices and ensure compliance with the terms of the apprenticeship.
It's important to note that the specific steps and requirements may vary, and it's advisable to check the latest guidelines on the official NAPS portal or contact the appropriate authorities for the most accurate and up-to-date information. Additionally, some sectors may have additional requirements or specific procedures, so it's essential to be familiar with the rules applicable to your industry.
