Answer 1

• Apprenticeship Training:
  

In many industries such as metal, printing and building construction, etc., this method of training is widely in use. The apprenticeship training may go on for four to five years. The worker is usually absorbed by the concerned industry after training period is over.

They get practical knowledge while working on the job and theoretical knowledge in the class room lecture. The workers get some stipend during their training period. It is the oldest and traditional method of training in crafts, trades and technical areas.

• Internship Training:In this method of training students get practical training while they study. A proper liaison is established between the technical institutions and business houses where students are sent during their vacations. Thus, there is a balance between theory and practice and students get practical Knowledge while studying.
