HR & Compliances - NATS (National Apprenticeship Training Scheme)

"Empower employees with industry-relevant training and certification. Strengthen operational capability and employee retention."

In today’s competitive market, organizations need skilled manpower that is both industry-ready and cost-effective. At the same time, fresh graduates and diploma holders often lack practical exposure to workplace operations. To bridge this gap, the Government of India launched the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS), a flagship program that enables employers to train and develop young professionals while receiving government support. At TCC-India Consulting, we specialize in implementing and managing NATS programs for employers. From program structuring and compliance management to apprentice deployment and training coordination, we ensure that companies maximize the scheme’s benefits. Our expertise helps employers not only meet workforce needs but also contribute to India’s skill development mission while reducing HR and compliance burdens. With TCC-India’s support, organizations can turn NATS into a strategic workforce-building tool—balancing cost efficiency, compliance, and social responsibility.

About Our Services

WHAT IS NATS (National Apprenticeship Training Scheme)?

The National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS) is a government initiative under the Ministry of Education (MoE) designed to provide practical, on-the-job training to fresh graduates and diploma holders. The scheme bridges the gap between academic knowledge and industry requirements by enabling young professionals to gain hands-on industry experience while earning a stipend. Under NATS, employers offer structured apprenticeship training programs, and the government reimburses up to 50% of the apprentice’s prescribed stipend, making it highly cost-effective for companies. This creates a win-win scenario—employers build a skilled workforce at reduced costs, and apprentices gain valuable industry exposure and employability skills. TCC-India helps employers seamlessly implement NATS by managing registrations, compliance, stipend reimbursement, and apprentice deployment—ensuring organizations take full advantage of this impactful scheme.
