Apprenticeship is a multi-disciplinary paid training program being run in industrial establishments of the Punjab, wherein Apprentices get On-The-Job Trainings. It is dual training system as Apprentices are provided Institutional / Off-The-Job training at five of our dedicated Institutes (Apprentices Training Centres), where the students are taught theory along with practical training. In another landmark step, we have initiated the replacement of the Apprenticeship Ordinance 1962 with The Punjab Apprenticeship Act 2021, which not only covers the Industrial sector [as before] but also includes all sectors of the economy, covering SMEs also. Once enacted the entire TEVTA Vocational Stream may be shifted to the Apprenticeship Model. Apprentices will be registered with business establishments having 20 or more employees for On-The-Job Trainings besides getting practical and theoretical know-how at TEVTA Institutes for the Certifications. Apprenticeship is a quick fix for employment and through Apprenticeship Act 2021, we will be able to provide 50,000+ jobs in the shortest span of time and the figure shall keep increasing swiftly.
