Govt can allow establishments to hire up to 25% apprentices but with riders: Skills secretary Debashree Mukherjee

Large industries can be allowed to take up to 25% apprentices provided they have reached the 15% limit in the last three years, will pay at least 30% above the minimum rate that is mandated and should employ at least 35% or more of the apprentices, Mukherjee said while while speaking at the Confederation of Indian Industry’s (CII) Annual Business Summit on Monday.
