The University Grants Commission has invited suggestions and feedback from stakeholders on the draft guidelines for the apprenticeship-embedded degree programme. The programme aims to enable a student admitted to an undergraduate programme of a higher educational institution to pursue apprenticeship training as an integrated component of the degree programme in compliance with these guidelines.
In a post on the microblogging site, X, the Commission asked the stakeholders to share their comments on the guidelines through the Google form available within 30 days of the publication date.
UGC, as per notice, said there is a need to bridge the gap between ‘what is taught in the class’ and ‘what is required by industry’. “The competencies required by the industry need to be embedded in the university curriculum so that the Education-Employability gap is bridged. Apprenticeship has a considerable role to play in bridging this gap,” read the documents.
— The document read that only those employers will be eligible to engage apprentices who have four or more workers and engagement of apprentices by establishment having 30 or more workers shall be obligatory.
