As per a memorandum of understanding that will soon be signed between the two ministries, unskilled individuals will first be trained under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) anchored by the skill development ministry and later assessed and certified under the Pravasi Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PKVY) run by the MEA; skilled individuals who are already trained can apply for certification under the PKVY.
