Definition: The Apprenticeship Training programme is the combination of on-the-job training and the classroom training, wherein the workers earn while learning the skills required for performing the specialized job.
Generally, the apprenticeship training is given to the technical staff such as mechanics, electricians, craftsmen, welders, etc. who work under the experts of each field for a longer period. The apprenticeship training programme lasts for 4-5 years until the worker becomes an expert in his field.
