Summary

The Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, has announced the formation of an apprenticeship council and an implementation review committee aimed at enhancing the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme. These bodies will focus on strengthening apprenticeship training and improving industry engagement in the Union Territory.

This initiative underscores a significant commitment to workforce development through apprenticeships, promoting job readiness and skill acquisition among local populations in Jammu and Kashmir. By aligning training with industry needs, the program aims to better prepare individuals for employment opportunities in various sectors.

Why this matters for apprenticeships
