The three terms you've mentioned: NEEM, NAPS, and Non-NAPS are different schemes under which organizations in India can hire trainees or apprentices. Here's an explanation:
1. NEEM (National Employability Enhancement Mission):👩‍🎓
- This is a public-private partnership where organizations can hire unskilled or semi-skilled workers as trainees.
- The purpose is to enhance their employability through on the job practical training.
- Trainees under NEEM are not counted as a part of the organization's workforce.
2. NAPS (National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme):👩‍🔧
- This scheme allows organizations to hire apprentices in a specific trade for a fixed period of time.
- The government partially funds the stipend of the apprentices.
- The apprentices are considered a part of the organization's workforce and are entitled to all statutory benefits.
3. Non-NAPS (Apprenticeship):👨‍🔬
- Non-NAPS is similar to NAPS, but without the government's partial stipend funding.
- The organization is responsible for the entire stipend of the apprentice.
- Like NAPS, apprentices under Non-NAPS are also considered a part of the organization's workforce.
As for which one your organization should opt for, it depends on your specific needs:
- If you need semi-skilled workers and wish to provide them practical training without them being a part of your workforce, opt for NEEM.👩‍🎓
- If you want apprentices in specific trades and can support them being a part of your workforce, and would benefit from the government's stipend funding, opt for NAPS.👩‍🔧
- If government's stipend funding is not a concern and you still wish to have apprentices as a part of your workforce, go for Non-NAPS apprenticeship.👨‍🔬
Remember, each comes with its own set of responsibilities and compliance requirements as per the Apprentices Act, 1961.
