Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

PM Internship Scheme : Expand to 50,000 Companies

 


Extract from the article:

 

https://www.financialexpress.com/jobs-career/over-28000-get-job-offers-under-internship-scheme-3737895/

 

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.
