in How To's, Resources

The dream of every skilled person is to learn further, improve and gain work experience under the guidance of an industry expert. Experienced experts in specific trades can add tremendous value to the skills of youth who are about to start their careers. Apprenticeship training helps youth gain real life work experience in a real work environment after they have picked up knowledge and skills as a part of any formal education or training program. It is the best way to utilize the intellectual and physical resources of an industry or a corporate organization to complement the gaps in academic learning through rigorous practice with latest tools and technologies. 

”All you wanted to know about…” is a knowledge series on skill development and employment brought to you by LabourNet Services India Pvt Ltd in partnership with National Skills Network (NSN).

Apprenticeship trainingToday, we need many companies in India, both public and private, to encourage apprentices and absorb them as regular employees after successful completion of their apprenticeship training. This is normally a long-term training program between 6 months to one year where the apprentices are exposed to various aspects of practical, hands-on work under the guidance of experts and seniors who help them go through various stages of a profession at a certain level with clear-cut outcomes and results. Since apprentices are paid a stipend, it also helps them earn-while-they-learn and sustain themselves financially.

Click here to know about 7 ways to successfully implement National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS).

The Apprentices Act, 1961 was enacted with the objective of regulating the programme of training of apprentices in the industry by utilizing the facilities available therein for imparting on-the-job training.
