At the end of the apprenticeship period, apprentices will be evaluated in order to obtain permit to practice the profession in which they were trained. Evaluation costs will be covered by employers, reads the normative act.
Apprentices’ theoretical education and practical training will be ensured by employers.
The apprenticeship period will last one to three years. The probationary employment period will not exceed 30 days.
The new apprenticeship law simplifies employment procedures, the Labor Ministry said in a press release. Employers no longer need to have special authorization to hire apprentices. They must have an experience of at least five years in the field in which they operate.
