The  SIM  aims  at  enabling  youth  of  India  to  get  future  ready,  equipped  with  industry relevant skills. The brief of these schemes is as under:

Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS) Scheme : The main target of the JSS is to impart vocational skills to  the  non-literates,  neo-literates  and  the  persons  having  rudimentary  level  of  education  and school dropouts upto 12th standard in the age group of 15-45 years, with due age relaxation in case of 'Divyangjan' and other deserving cases. Priority is given to Women, SC, ST, OBC and Minorities in the rural areas and urban low-income areas.

National Apprenticeship  Promotion  Scheme  (NAPS) : This Scheme  is for promoting apprenticeship  training  and  increasing  the  engagement  of  apprentices  by  providing  financial support to industrial establishments undertaking apprenticeship programme under the Apprentices  Act,  1961.
