About Internship Programme
This government-backed internship spans a 12-month period, where 50% of the duration must be dedicated to on-the-job training within a real-world work environment. The remaining time may be allocated to learning modules or supplementary training.
Importantly, this scheme functions independently of existing skill development and apprenticeship programs already in operation across various states and union territories. It is distinct from initiatives like vocational training or student apprenticeships offered under other Central or State schemes.
