More apprenticeships critical in bridging skill gap, says Teamlease study

An increasing number of employers are focusing on hiring candidates who have some prior work experience and apprenticeships is playing a crucial role in bridging this gap, according to a study by TeamLease Degree Apprenticeship and JustJobs Network. The study states that doubling the number of apprentices from 500,000 to 10,00,000 per year, and setting an initial target of 10 million apprentices in ten years, is a crucial step in bridging the skill gap.
