The skills and entrepreneurship ministry and NITI Aayog are working on the initiatives, which also includes allowing educational institutions to hire apprentices.
The draft plan also suggests adopting a franchise model, which will allow employers to deploy apprentices at client locations and take the help of third-party aggregators (TPAs) to enable industries in improving apprentice training.
