Why Apprenticeships Matter
Apprenticeships link academic education and practical experience, allowing students to gain hands-on skills directly from industry professionals. Research shows that 93% of students who complete an apprenticeship secure employment in their field within six months of finishing the program.
This is particularly important for ITI graduates, as many industries require practical skills and theoretical knowledge. An apprenticeship allows for:
- Real-world training in actual work environments.
- Learning under the guidance of skilled professionals.
- Earning a stipend while gaining experience.
