Skilling and mentorship obligation under Foreign Trade Policy 2023 requires flexible, documented compliance by Status Holders.
Status Holders, including Star Export Houses, have a skilling and mentorship obligation under the Foreign Trade Policy 2023 for capacity building of new and potential exporters. The obligation is presently compliance-based rather than enforcement-driven, with no prescribed return, certification mechanism, or immediate consequence for non-fulfilment. Compliance may be demonstrated through training programmes, workshops, online or hybrid modules, and mentorship activities, supported by contemporaneous records such as outlines, attendance, materials, feedback forms, and proof of conduct.
