Learn & Earn
With the multi-fold opening of manufacturing Industries in India, opportunities for employment for youth with skills is very high. At the same time, the industry also is looking for the skilful youth. This LEARN AND EARN Programme is one such initiative which bridges the gap between the industry and the youth by developing steady pool of trained manpower.
With the multifold openings of the manufacturing industries in India, opportunities for employment for youth with proper skills have become very high. Moreover, the industry is also looking for youth who are skilled and up-to-date about the new developments. This LEARN AND EARN Programme is an initiative that bridges the gap between the industry and the youth of India by developing a steady pool of trained manpower.
With this great idea, NTTF has partnered with industries across India to bring about a change especially to those youth hailing from the economically underprivileged section, from a rural section of our society and those residing in the industrially underdeveloped regions.
Students are supported with a reasonable monthly stipendiary benefit to incur their living expenses and also they need not pay any fees till the completion of the programme. The entire training cost is paid by the partnering industries.
The idea behind this concept is to provide a platform for students with employable skills, to gain first-hand experience while they are still pursuing their technical training (Certificate or Diploma) and to be paid a stipend too, during an internship. In this model, along with the theory classes the students undergo extensive practical sessions, as part of the on-the-job training at our partner industries.
At the end of this course, students might get an opportunity to turn their training into a full-time job or explore other opportunities in different companies. Under the "Learn & Earn” model, a student has to attend theory classes one day a week, while for the rest five days, the student would be exposed to extensive industry operations.
Key Features of "Learn and Earn " Model (L&E)
- Stipend to trainees - Earn
- Hands-on industry exposure - Learn

Youth, in the age group of 18-25 years with an educational qualification of Class 10 passed/ 11th or 12th/ ITI passed or failed, are inducted through an entrance test and screening process by NTTF. NTTF also works with an external agency M/s. CEO Talent Search, Bengaluru who will support in the trainee mobilisation activities in key locations.

The number of students currently enrolled for this program is around 8,000 (in batches of 40 with multiple entries and exit schemes). The program is growing fast and we hope to see many more industries getting benefited from this NEEM program by partnering with NTTF. We look forward to a total of around 10,000 students who may get enrolled in this programme by the end of 2019.
