About Our Services

WHAT IS NAPS (National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme)?

The National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) is a Government of India initiative introduced in 2016 to encourage apprenticeship across industries. Under this scheme, the government provides financial support to employers who engage apprentices, thereby reducing the cost of training and workforce development. Employers who register under NAPS receive reimbursement of 25% of the prescribed stipend, up to INR 1,500 per apprentice per month, along with support for basic training costs. This makes apprenticeship adoption not only cost-efficient but also government-supported, enabling organizations to expand their skilled workforce without increasing payroll budgets significantly. At TCC-India, we guide employers through the complete NAPS journey—from registration and documentation to program execution and claim management—ensuring seamless participation and maximum benefits under the scheme
