World popular concept of “On the job practical training” is the basis of this program targeting enhancement of employability among individuals who are pursuing graduation or have discontinued or completed a diploma or graduation in any technical or non-technical field.
In NEEM, apprentices get an opportunity to undergo 'on the job' training and are exposed to real working conditions, situations, and challenges.
