Dear Saurabh,

Apprenticeship under the Apprentices Act, 1961, and the training under the National Employability Enhancement Mission (NEEM) are basically on-the-job training programs on a contract basis for a fixed period in any designated trade with no statutory guarantee of appointment after completion of the training.

Yet another type of apprenticeship is in vogue under the Certified Standing Orders of the establishments. In any such case, they are learners and not workers and therefore cannot be required to work overtime or during night shifts. They are exempted from the provisions of the EPF Act, 1952, and the PG Act, 1972. However, the EC Act, 1923, and the ESIC Act, 1948, apply to them.

FTC Employment has statutory recognition by virtue of the amendment carried out to the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Central Rules, 1946, in 2018. The FTC employees are entitled to all the statutory benefits of employment on par with permanent employees, including proportionate terminal benefits.
