Apprenticeships Development for Universal Lifelong Learning and Training (ADULT)

Good practices in apprenticeships in India: Challenges and opportunities

This report was compiled under the ILO’s research project – Apprenticeship Development for Universal Lifelong Learning and Training (ADULT) – funded by the Government of Flanders. The project aims to explore how apprenticeship systems are being modernised and transformed to promote and enable lifelong learning and decent work for youth, adults, and older workers (both employed and unemployed). The country-level report “Good practices in apprenticeships in India: Challenges and opportunities” has been produced by the ILO as part of the ADULT project. It provides the overview of the apprenticeship system in India and discuss in detail the various reforms undertaken to promote apprenticeship in the country. With the help of primary research conducted as part of the report, new ideas and policy options have been evolved which enables lifelong learning mainstreaming apprenticeship in the TVET system of the country.
