New apprenticeship policy to link degrees, raise stipends

To revitalise the apprenticeship ecosystem, the Centre proposes reforms including inflation-linked stipend hikes, formalised Apprenticeship Embedded Degree Programmes, and global deployment opportunities. These measures aim to address structural challenges like limited industry participation, regional disparities, and low female participation. A unified portal is also planned to streamline processes and improve access for apprentices and employers.
