The government will amend the Apprenticeship Act and integrate its provisions with the ease of doing business goal with a “shift from government regulation to self-governance” and build flexibility for employers and individuals to establish better shop-floor training and employment ecosystem.
The amendment will also allow outsourcing of apprentice aggregation to third parties, including staffing companies, expand the definition of establishment to include new sectors such as services and open up apprenticeship opportunities for students to improve their employability, skills and entrepreneurship secretary Praveen Kumar said on Thursday.
