VTCY Trainees Participate in PM-NAPS Workshop at Churachandpur

Trainees of Hospitality – Food and Beverages under the Vocational Training Centre for Youth (VTCY) participated in a Workshop on Pradhan Mantri–National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (PM-NAPS), Northeast Region on 26 September 2026 at the District Panchayat Resource Centre, Mini Secretariat, Tuibong, Churachandpur.

The trainees attended the programme following an invitation from the District Administration, Churachandpur. VTCY is implemented by Community Development Society (CDS) with support from IndiGo CSR.

The workshop was organised by the Directorate of Craftsmen Training under the SLEE Department, Government of Manipur. The programme covered apprenticeship opportunities, PM-NAPS, registration of establishments and registration of candidates. A question-and-answer session was also held for the participants.

For the trainees, the workshop was a good opportunity to learn about apprenticeship and how they can gain workplace experience after completing their skill training. They also learned about the registration process and the opportunities available under the scheme.

Such exposure is useful for the trainees as they prepare to move from training to employment. Apart from classroom and practical sessions, VTCY trainees are also encouraged to participate in programmes where they can learn about employment, apprenticeship and other opportunities available to young people.

Community Development Society thanked the District Administration, Churachandpur for inviting our trainees to participate in the programme and giving them the opportunity to learn more about apprenticeship opportunities.
