Why apprenticeship is the starting point to addressing India's skilling problem

India is a country with a booming young populace, churning well over seven million graduates a year, helping the country realise its dream of becoming a trillion-dollar economy. We need a conscious effort to bridge the gap between job requirements and the skills possessed by college students and internships can play a big role in this. INTERNSHIPS FORM THE FOUNDATION ON WHICH CAREERS CAN BE BUILT Internships allow students to explore different opportunities, understand the requirements of different roles, the rigors and expectations of a corporate role all with support and guidance. For students, internships make job discoverability easier, it is a solid, invaluable foothold on the corporate ladder. DEMOCRATISING ACCESS OF PAID INTERNSHIPS TO IMPROVE THE SKILLED TALENT PIPELINE Democratising access to internships is the answer to improving the employability of our talent pool as well as help organisation find the right fresher talent.
