Extract from the article:
In the pilot phase of the PM Internship
Scheme, over 28,000 individuals received job offers, with more than 61,000
participants undergoing training. Launched by the MCA in December, the scheme
included a one-time grant for the interns.
This initiative highlights the government's
efforts to bridge the gap between education and employment, providing valuable
training opportunities that lead to concrete job offers. The successful
implementation of such schemes reflects a focused approach towards enhancing skill
development and increasing job prospects for the youth.
My Take:
A. Stipend
Subsidy is the Answer
"Reflecting on the significant role of
internships in driving skill development and job opportunities, I had
emphasized the importance of stipends to motivate both interns and employers.
The recent success of the PM Internship Scheme underlines the value of
financial incentives in fostering meaningful training experiences that
ultimately lead to job placements."
B. Of
Interns and Apprentices "
In my previous blog, I discussed the potential
of apprenticeships in engaging a wider pool of youth, beyond just graduates.
The recent government-backed training programs, like the Shreyas scheme,
targeting non-technical graduates resonate with the idea of expanding
apprenticeship opportunities to a larger demographic. It's heartening to see
such initiatives aligning with the vision I had shared earlier."
Call to Action:
To the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and other
stakeholders involved in the PM Internship Scheme, I urge a continued focus on
expanding and sustaining such impactful programs. Encouraging more companies to
participate and offering long-term support to interns can further enhance the
effectiveness of these initiatives in nurturing skilled professionals for the
workforce.
