Apprenticeships, especially through MSMEs, are being pushed as the real gateway to employment. Right now, only 32,000 out of 60 million MSMEs hire apprentices. That’s less than 0.1%. Why? Lack of awareness, poor incentives, and fragmented systems. The fix? A unified digital platform; think of it like a “LinkedIn for vocational jobs”; where students can discover apprenticeships, build digital portfolios, and get matched with local employers. Plus, MSMEs may soon get financial breaks to onboard trainees. This isn’t just policy; it’s a quiet revolution in skilling. If you’re a student, job seeker, or small business owner, this could reshape your future. And it’s coming fast.
