Apprenticeship Programme - Careers

Apprenticeship Programme Overview

Our Apprenticeship Programme is a structured educational and training initiative designed to equip participants with the technical skills, professional knowledge, and practical experience needed to excel in their chosen fields. Through this programme, apprentices gain paid, hands-on experience, allowing them to earn while they learn.

Each apprentice will participate in the programme for a two-year period, upon successful completion, of which they will graduate and receive an official certificate of completion. Apprentices who choose to conclude their participation after one year will also be awarded a certificate recognizing their one-year achievement.

Based on individual performance and organizational requirements, outstanding apprentices may be offered employment opportunities with Dhiraagu upon completion of the programme.

By the end of the apprenticeship, participants will have developed essential professional skills such as communication, planning and organization, problem-solving and decision-making, customer service, and occupational health and safety, all of which are highly valued across diverse disciplines. These experiences will help the apprentices become more confident, capable, and career ready.

"Build your confidence and self-esteem, enhance your work skills and get familiarized to the corporate working environment”
