WHAT IS APPRENTICESHIP?
Apprenticeships are a work-based learning model where learners have supervised on-the-job training, along with job-related education, all while earning a wage.
Training consists of basic training (theoretical instructions) and practical on-the-job training at the actual work place. The person undergoing an apprenticeship is called an Apprentice.

After the end of apprenticeship, you will get an NSDC issued apprenticeship certificate, which can be used as evidence for one year experience in the banking and financial service sector. This will help you in getting good job opportunities in the private sector.
