Before Accepting an Apprenticeship
Check whether the engagement is governed through NAPS or NATS, the training duration, stipend, workplace, attendance rules and whether accommodation or travel support is provided. Apprenticeship is training and does not automatically guarantee permanent employment unless the employer explicitly states otherwise.
