What Happens After Selection
Selected candidates sign a contract of apprenticeship and join for the training period stated in the notice, with a monthly stipend.
At the end, apprentices who complete the training receive a certificate. An apprenticeship does not by itself lead to a permanent post, though some employers give weightage to their own trained apprentices in later recruitment.
