The Government of India has launched an apprenticeship scheme to create job opportunities for young people in India. This initiative offers internships in various public sector companies, including banks, which have opened many apprentice positions. These roles help address staffing shortages and offer valuable work experience, though apprentices receive lower pay compared to Probationary Officers (PO) and Clerks. Given the complexity of banking, management will need to carefully oversee apprentices’ work to ensure smooth operations and prevent any potential issues. Share your thoughts in the comments!
