CII is acting as a critical facilitator between the government and the industry, ensuring the scheme's effective rollout, the industry body stated.
The PM Internship Scheme will enhance youth employability in India by offering them hands-on exposure to real-world business environments.
The scheme will also benefit the industry by creating a pipeline of skilled, work-ready youth who can be employed post-internship both in large as well as micro, small and medium enterprise, CII stated.
The MCA has also launched a dedicated, user-centric portal for the scheme, which will serve as a centralised hub and a link between the companies and the aspiring interns, allowing smooth navigation of the scheme's application and participation processes.
