Human Resource Management (HRM):

Human resource management is the strategic approach
to the effective and efficient management of people in a company or
organization such that they help their business gain a competitive advantage. It
is designed to maximize employee performance in service of an employer's
strategic objectives.

Meaning of Neem Training:

The Learn and Earn program by Nettur Technical Training
Foundation (NTTF) is offered under National Employability Enhancement
Mission (NEEM) scheme. The industry-relevant courses and the on-the-job
training (OJT) under the program will make you industry ready and help you
with your career growth.
 NEEM Scheme or the National Employability Enhancement Scheme as it
is otherwise called is a joint initiative taken by the Government of India and
All India Council for Technical Education ( AICTE). The scheme was
pioneered with an aim to address the shortage of skilled labour in India by
producing skilled labours.

Neem Training:
 NEEM is an apprenticeship program which helps those enrolled in
educational institutes gain first-hand experience of working in an industrial
set-up. NEEM Trainee is a student or any person who has registered
themselves under NEEM. They should have a minimum education up to
Class 10th.

 NEEM training shall be for a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of

36 months and the trainings must be NSQF compliant. - NEEM training
shall provide by a registered Company/Industry as registered with the NEEM
Facilitator. Suitable MoU needs to be signed between the NEEM Facilitator
& associated industry partner.
 It is a National Employbility Enhancement Mission. The Central government
is aware of the enormity of the challenge and has therefore launched a
program through AICTE(All India Council for Technical Education). It is
already popularly known as NEEM(National Employment Enhancement
Mission). The objective is to develop a competent workforce which could
take the country ahead in the industrial world. World popular concept of “On
the job practical training” is the basis of this program targeting enhancement
of employability among individuals who are pursuing graduation or have
discontinued or completed a diploma or graduation in any technical or non-
technical field.

 For a competent workforce, there is need for continuous learning that targets
the enhancement of employability among individuals entering the workforce
every year.

 Sambhav Foundation (A LabourNet initiative) is an AICTE approved NEEM

Facilitator which has the capacity to place students in registered companies
and industries for the purpose of providing training under the objective of
NEEM.

 As an authorised NEEM facilitator, Sambhav Foundation

• mobilises

National Employability Enhancement Mission is known as “NEEM” is a

scheme initiated by central govt. of India.  This scheme is designed in such a
way that graduates & degree holder people get a handful of training as per the
requirements of the industry. This way they become ready to be used in
industries in their respective field with practical knowledge. Nowadays, skilled
labor availability has become a serious issue and to resolve this issue
apprenticeship training is done. This process helps in creating the skilled pool of
workforce and also helps educated youth to get the job in the desired field. So it
is a win-win situation for both sides. In this article we will talk about the
benefits a trainee can have with NEEM scheme.

Skill testing on advanced machines – Trainee gets the chance to test their
skills on various types of advanced machines & equipment which further
improve & enhance their skills & their attitude. This training also helps them in
knowing the requirements of the market which can lead them to get attractive
packages.

Earn while you learn – Trainees get a minimum wage as stipend during the
training period while getting training at NEEM scheme. After completing the
training and getting the required skills, they can become real assets to any
industry and get the handsome package as well.

Dropouts get a second chance – This scheme also helpful for the dropout of
degree courses or the pursuing one’s as well. Majority of Indian youth get a
degree from various colleges but unfortunately, they are not industry ready.
Neem scheme helps these students and prepare them for the upcoming job in
various industries. Students doing degree or diploma courses from any govt. or
technical body approved college can become a part of the NEEM scheme.
Other dropouts like secondary passed out students can also enroll the scheme
for on-job training to enhance their employability.

Increase job chances – India has a great potential in terms of its youth
population but due to the absence of skilled manpower they could not able to
contribute to nation’s growth. Taking NEEM scheme training, they can become
skillful so that they can be selected by the industry hand to hand. Fresher &
recently passed out get chances for the opportunity to get ‘on the job’ training,
and understanding of the requirements at the business environment.

Regular assessment of the skill sets– They are uncovered to real industry
conditions, different production situations, and challenges in getting desired
skills, relevant experience and attitude to use them properly in real-world
conditions.

Become certified in skills – Trainee gets a certificate after successful

completion of the training programme. This will help them in getting jobs
where selection criteria include a certificate.

Guidance from industry experts – Trainee gets the chance to learn from the
experts in industries who got so much experience in their skills.
Understand business world – Trainee gets the chance to understand the
business world from a very close eye and learn the working ethics in a business
world.

Motivation & encouragement – This is especially for dropouts because during

the training they get required motivation & confidence that yes they can do the
job after dropping out of school or college.

Short time period – No other training programme can provide you so much of
learning chances as NEEM scheme do. In a short time, users can enhance their
skills as per industry requirements.

Objectives and Details of NEEM Scheme:

Governing Agency: AICTE & Government of India

Objective as per official declaration: The objective of National Employability
Enhancement Mission (NEEM) is to offer on the job practical training to
enhance the employability of a person either pursuing his or her Post
Graduation/graduation/diploma in any technical or non-technical stream or has
discontinued studies after Class 10th to enhance his/her employability.

The scheme clearly mentions that it aims to provide the underprivileged and
under skilled youth of India with proper skill development avenue. What could
be more beneficial for them than to get the latest skills that too without any
expenditure? its one of the finest skills development scheme that the
government has come up with.

This basically shows how flexible yet responsible the governing bodies are
when it comes to increasing the scales of operations.

NEEM Facilitator shall be in the business of training for at least five years or

 There is more information that still needs to be imparted and explained
through our blog. Stay tuned for more reliable information coming from us.
The blog article has taken inputs from the gazette published by the
government of India on NEEM Scheme.

Neem Scheme and Youth Development:

The NEEM Scheme is an outstanding program rolled out with various top
ranking industries in the country. The rate of employability is quite low in India
and this is the reason why the government is taking up measures in the form of
bringing up various schemes like the NEEM scheme. This unique
apprenticeship program is brought to the people under the aegis of the
government and the AICTE.

Bridging the gap:

It goes without saying that unemployment is one of the greatest crises of the
country. Any industry would require candidates with a lot of working skills
such as communication, technical work and team work along with various
others. But the reality is that the students do not get access to this skills in their
general stream of studies. So the NEEM scheme allows the candidates to
receive the hands-on experience in all the important aspects of industry.
The aim of this scheme lies in the development of youth: by bridging up the gap
between the individuals willing to work in various industries and the industry
itself. The NEEM scheme allows the willing candidates to boost their
employability as per the needs and preferences of the concerned industries.

The actual scenario:

After completion of their degrees or leaving their course in the middle, the
candidates appear for various kinds of job interviews. But they often fail to get
something which is at par with their score and this is because they lack the skills
and competence required to work in the industry. Regardless of whether they
have their degrees or not, they definitely fail to match the industry requirements.
The uplifting caused by the NEEM scheme:

With the assistance of the practical job training under the NEEM scheme, the
candidates get to acquaint themselves with the latest technologies and tools
required to work in the different industries. They are also taught to handle
various machineries and their basic maintenance which make them more adept
than a non-technical person. Moreover, while getting the requisite training from
the NEEM scheme, the students also earn a stipend generated by the
government, which surely motivates them to be more diligent and industrious.
The most important aspect of the NEEM scheme with respect to youth
development is that the candidates are given a platform to learn and to work at
the same time. They can test their abilities in the real-world situation where the
employer can directly hire them on the basis of their merit and performance.
When any company hires candidates who are practically efficient and possess
remarkable dexterity in their area of work, they are bound to prosper. This
prosperity is not restricted to the individuals only and can supremely affect the
industries and Indian economy at large. This is because the recruiters are now
able to see the difference between an untrained and a trained candidate along
with the benefits that the latter proffers. This scheme is a wonderful approach of
the government that allows them to find meaning and necessities of life during
their training course so that they can apply it later on in their area of work.
