The significance of training in-company trainers, as required under the Apprenticeship Training, was discussed during the workshop. A collective opinion was formed to spread maximum awareness about the Apprenticeship Programme.

By means of interactive session, the participants were invited to deliberate on the new and upcoming job roles which might be required by the member companies in the near future, and their likely requirement of the Apprentices for the same.
