Under the apprenticeship scheme, the government and the industry together will give an honorarium to the youth studying in universities and colleges, he said. They will be connected with experiential work and new training.
“The presence of 112 companies in this festival proves that we have potential. The move to connect thousands of youth with jobs and employment is related to the campaign to link Uttar Pradesh’s scale with skill,” he said.

Companies coming to the state have been told to contribute to the skill development of the youth of the place where they plan to set up their industries, the chief minister said.
