Government apprenticeship schemes made simple — for employers & students.
NAPS (National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme) and NATS (National Apprenticeship Training Scheme) are Government of India initiatives for on-the-job training — building skilled, industry-ready workforces. Clickiya helps employers and candidates with registration, e-KYC, contracts, stipend subsidies & portal compliance.
Two Government of India apprenticeship programmes — different ministries, audiences & benefits.
Managed by the Ministry of Education. Bridges academic study and industry practice for technical talent.
Managed by MSDE (Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship). Expands apprenticeships across industries and optional trades.
