A Graduate Engineer Trainee (GET) is an engineering graduate who joins an organization for practical training. This assignment prepares GETs to know the operations, technology, and industry practices of a company before they take on a full-time position. Training, real-time project experience, and hands-on learning are all part of this period.
Whether GETs fall under the provisions of the Apprentice Act heavily relies on the nature of training. If this structure is apprenticeship like with emphasis on training and mentorship, GETs may be established under the Apprenticeship Act; otherwise, in case of probation or probationary employment, the Act may not strictly apply.
What varies is the kind of contract followed and therefore the design of the training.
Thus, one has to foresee the particular terms of the GET program to conclude effectively if it is an apprenticeship under the Act in order to use such a provision.
