Apprenticeship-embedded degrees can solve the employability crisis amongst the youth to some extent, and help overcome the skills crisis of the industries, says Sumit Kumar, Vice President Teamlease Skills University and business head of national employability through apprenticeship initiative of Teamlease Services.

The employability factor hovers around 22-25 percent for non-technical graduates and about 45-47 percent for technical grads, which has a cascading effect in the form of talent scarcity in the industry, Kumar told Moneycontrol in an interview.
