FOR EMPLOYERS

Build your hiring pipeline into the curriculum itself

Edutech 4.0 works with employers as co-designers of the trade, not just hosts of an internship. Your floor becomes the apprenticeship site; your competency benchmarks become graded academic outcomes with Glocal University.

WHY EMPLOYERS ARE MOVING TO THIS MODEL

Work-integrated hiring is now mainstream, not experimental

Indian employers have shifted from hiring apprentices only to meet the Apprentices Act to using apprenticeship as a core talent-acquisition channel. Employer intent to engage apprentices is at a record high, and most now convert their apprentices into full-time staff — exactly the pipeline AEDP and WILP are built to feed.

Retail & E-commerce

Store operations, supply chain and customer experience — scaling apprentice intake to staff fast-growing store and fulfilment networks.

WHO OPTS FOR THIS MODEL

Four kinds of employer, one shared reason

From small firms meeting a statutory mandate to global centres building talent at scale — each engages apprenticeships to convert training into proven, retained hires.

MSMEs & Growing Firms

Establishments with 30+ employees are required to engage apprentices (2.5–15% of workforce). Apprenticeships give them affordable, customised talent with a government stipend share.

Enterprises & GCCs

Large employers and Global Capability Centres treat apprenticeships as a core hiring channel — GCC intake outlook sits at 79% — to build role-ready talent pipelines at scale.

Public Sector (PSUs)

Public sector enterprises run large graduate and technician apprentice batches under NATS, grooming youth for strategic, long-term technical roles.

Sunrise Sectors

EV & mobility (75%), drones (86%), semiconductors and renewables are adopting apprenticeships fastest, hiring ahead of acute, specialised skill shortages.
