Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), Jan Sikhshan Sansthan (JSS), National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) and Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) through Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), to all the sections of the society across the country. 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:

Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY): PMKVY  Scheme  is  for  imparting  skill development  training  through  Short-Term  Training  (STT)  and  up-skilling  and  re-skilling through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) to youth across the country.

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.
