PM National Apprenticeship Mela begins across 200 locations today

New Delhi, June 13 (KNN) The Pradhan Mantri National Apprenticeship Mela is being organised by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship on June 13 from 9 AM to 5 PM.

The fair will take place across 200+ locations in India. More than 1000 companies from across 36+ sectors will be participating in the Mela, providing opportunities of being hired as an apprentice within companies.

The aim of this event is to connect the youth with more opportunities of on-ground training within corporates and further their chance to get employment.

Expressing his views about the event, Rajesh Aggarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, said “that following the success of the previous apprenticeship mela held in April, we have decided to organize the Pradhan Mantri National Apprenticeship Mela (PMNAM) every month”.

“We hope both the candidate and the establishments will benefit from this model of skill development. We aim to engage over one million youth as apprentices through these melas. This will not only give the candidates hands on experience on the shop floors but also address the challenge of migration at a local level”, he added.

Individuals having a 5th–12th  grade pass certificate, a skill training certificate, an ITI Diploma, or a graduate degree can apply for an interview across these trades/opportunities.

Candidates will also receive Apprenticeship certificates recognised by the National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET) at the end of their training period.  (KNN Bureau)
