THE PILOT PRIME MINISTER Internship Scheme (PMIS)—launched on October 3, 2024, with the aim of helping as many as 125,000 youth secure internship opportunities with leading Indian companies—has garnered strong response from companies; candidates have also shown a great deal of interest.
As of October 24, 2024, over 280 private companies, such as Reliance Industries, Maruti Suzuki India, Jubilant FoodWorks, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, ICICI Bank, and Titan, have posted as many as 127,000 internship opportunities. To ensure that students don’t have to relocate far from home in order to learn these skills, opportunities are spread across 25 sectors and 745 districts. There are internships available in more than 20 fields, including operations management, production and manufacturing, maintenance, and sales and marketing.
“PMIS marks a significant step towards industry-led skilling. It is great to see that industry is responding very positively with their participation. This enthusiastic engagement underscores the vital role of industry in creating a skilled talent pool and increasing the youth’s employability,” underlines Aditya Ghosh, Chairman, CII National Committee on Skill Development and Liveli-hood; Co-founder, Akasa Air; and Founder, Homage.
