Bridging the Gap Between Education & Employment
Lamrin Tech Skills University Punjab has taken a significant step toward transforming higher education by signing a historic MoU with Board of Apprenticeship Training for the implementation of Apprenticeship Embedded Degree Programmes (AEDP).
This milestone was announced during the Industry–Academia–HR Meet 2026 held on 21 April in Chandigarh, where over 125 HR leaders and industry representatives participated to discuss the future of skill-based education and employability.
🎯 What Makes This MoU Historic?
This is the first-of-its-kind MoU in North India, where students will benefit from:
✔ Dual Degree + Apprenticeship (Government Approved)
✔ Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) during apprenticeship
✔ Earn While You Learn Model
✔ Industry-Integrated Curriculum
👉 This initiative is aligned with the New Education Policy (NEP) and aims to create a perfect blend of academics + industry exposure.
⚙️ What is Apprenticeship Embedded Degree Program (AEDP)?
AEDP is a revolutionary education model where:
- Students pursue a regular degree
- Alongside, they undergo structured apprenticeship training in industries
- Gain real work experience before graduation
👉 In simple terms:
🎓 Degree + 💼 Experience + 💰 Earning = Future-Ready Career
💡 Why AEDP is the Future of Education
Today’s biggest challenge is clear:
👉 Graduates have degrees but lack skills
As rightly said by Mr. Sachin Jain, Executive Director – Corporate Relations:
“From Parliament to pan shops, everyone is discussing why graduates are unemployed. The core issue is not education itself, but the lack of industry integration.”
AEDP solves this by:
✔ Integrating industry within education
✔ Making students job-ready from day one
✔ Reducing unemployment gap

- 💰 Stipend / Earning during study

👉 Students don’t just study — they work, earn, and grow simultaneously.

- Access to trained & skilled workforce
- Reduced onboarding & training costs
- Early engagement with future employees
- Strong industry-academia collaboration
