About This Process

What is NATS Establishment Registration?

The National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS), governed by the Ministry of Education, Government of India, enables establishments across the country to engage apprentices in designated trades and occupations. Under this scheme, establishments register on the official NATS portal to gain access to a structured, government-supported apprenticeship framework.

As a Third-Party Aggregator (TPA), Digital Business India facilitates the complete onboarding process for establishments. We act as an intermediary between your organization and the Board of Apprenticeship Training (BOAT), handling documentation, portal registration, compliance verification, and ongoing support throughout the apprenticeship lifecycle.

Once registered, your establishment gains access to a nationwide pool of qualified apprentices across disciplines including engineering, technology, management, and vocational trades. The scheme also provides government reimbursement of stipends and supports skill development aligned with National Occupational Standards (NOS).
