The Government has taken several initiatives to revamp apprenticeship
scheme. The Apprentices Act, 1961 has been amended and brought into
effect from 22nd December, 2014. These amendments have been made with
the objective of expanding the apprenticeship opportunities for youth.
Non engineering graduates and diploma holders have been made eligible
for apprenticeship. A portal is being setup to make all approvals
transparent and time bound. Apprenticeship can be taken up in new
occupations also.
A Working Group has been constituted by Ministry of Labour and Employment for framing draft apprenticeship rules.
The Working Group in its meeting held on 12.1.2015 has prepared draft recommendations on the proposed amendments in Apprenticeship Rules, 1992 and guidelines of Third Party Agencies (TPA). Proposed amendments and Guidelines for TPA are uploaded at the web-sites of the Ministry of Labour & Employment and DGE&T.
Comments/suggestions are invited on these draft recommendations by 2nd March, 2015 at ddgat-dget@nic.in. These comments/suggestions shall be considered by the Working Group before finalizing its recommendations. Thereafter Apprenticeship Rules will be framed in consultation with Central Apprenticeship Council.
