Technical Intern Training Program (TITP)

OBJECTIVE

India is one of the youngest nations in the world with nearly 65% of its population in the working age group of 15-64 years and more than 54% of its total population below 25 years of age.
To reap this demographic dividend, India needs to equip its workforce with employable skills and knowledge so that they can contribute substantially to the economic growth of the country.

WHAT IS TECHNICAL INTERN TRAINING PROGRAM (TITP)?

The program promotes international collaboration through the transfer of skills, technology, and knowledge among the participating countries thereby, contributing towards the human resource development. It offers training to the workers for a specific period (3 – 5 years) in Japan’s industrial society.
The objective is to ensure that the most competent youth is selected and sent to Japan to participate in TITP.
Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE), Government of India and the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan signed a Memorandum of Cooperation initiating the Technical Intern Training Program (TITP) in India in October 2017.
