Convention (n° 138) sur l'âge minimum, 1973 - Lesotho (Ratification: 2001)

Article 6 of the Convention. Minimum age for admission to apprenticeship. In its previous comments, the Committee noted the Government’s indication that there was no minimum age for admission to apprenticeships.

The Committee notes the Government’s information that apprenticeship programmes are provided to tertiary education graduates as a means to provide them with work experience and that the minimum age for apprenticeship is 22 years. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the provisions in the national legislation that fixes the minimum age for apprenticeship at 22 years.
