 1. BACKGROUND

1.1 Apprenticeship Training Scheme under Apprentice Act 1961

The Apprentices Act, 1961 was enacted with the objective of regulating the
programme of training of apprentices in the industry by utilizing the facilities
available therein for imparting on-the-job training. The Act makes it obligatory
for employers in specified industries to engage apprentices in designated
trades to impart Apprenticeship Training on the job in industry to school
leavers and person having National Trade Certificate (ITI pass-outs) issued by
National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT) to develop skilled manpower
for the industry. There are five categories of apprentices namely; trade
apprentice, optional trade apprentice, graduate, technician and
technician (vocational) apprentices.

Qualifications and period of apprenticeship training of trade apprenticesand

optional trade apprentices vary from trade to trade. The apprenticeship training
consists of basic training followed by practical training. At the end of the
training, the apprentices are required to appear in a trade test conducted by
NCVT and those successful in the trade tests are awarded the National
Apprenticeship Certificate.

The period of apprenticeship training for graduate (engineers), technician

(diploma holders and technician (vocational) apprentices is one year.
Certificates are awarded on completion of training by the Department of
Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development.
1.2 Changes in Industrial Scenario

Recently we have seen huge changes in the Indian industry. The Indian
Industry registered an impressive growth during the last decade and half. The
number of industries in India have increased manifold in the last fifteen years
especially in services and manufacturing sectors. It has been realized that
India would become a prosperous and a modern state by raising skill levels,
including by engaging a larger proportion of apprentices, will be critical to
success; as will stronger collaboration between industry and the trainees to
ensure the supply of skilled workforce and drive development through
employment. Various initiatives to build up an adequate infrastructure for rapid
industrialization and improve the industrial scenario in India have been taken.

1.3 Reformation

The Apprentices Act, 1961 has been amended and brought into effect from
22nd December, 2014 to make it more responsive to industry and youth. Key
amendments are as given below:

 Prescription of number of apprentices to be engaged at establishment

level instead of trade-wise.

 Establishment can also engage apprentices in optional trades which are

not designated, with the discretion of entry level qualification and
syllabus.

 Scope has been extended also to non-engineering occupations.

 Establishments have been permitted to outsource basic training in an

institute of their choice.

 The burden of compliance on industry has been reduced significantly.
