What Happens After the Trainee Period? Seeking Insights on Company Practices

Prashant B Ingawale
Dear Seniors & Colleagues, In most companies, Diploma/Graduate Engineers are recruited at the fresher level as Diploma Engineer Trainees/Graduate Engineer Trainees for around one year. My question is, what is your company's practice/policy after the successful completion of this one-year training period? Are these trainees absorbed as confirmed employees or taken on as probationers?

Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Usually, companies confirm the Graduate Engineer Trainees (GETs) after the completion of their one-year training period. They are then confirmed as Engineer/Senior Engineer without any probation period, depending on the company's hiring/confirmation policy. Some companies also implement a six-month probation period following the successful completion of the training period.

Thank you.

I have been working in a reputed MNC as a Management Trainee for more than one year. Now, when I reached the time of confirmation, they are asking me to take a transfer outside my state if I want to be confirmed, or more precisely, if I want to continue. I did some research and found out that no Management Trainee in this organization has been confirmed since 2005 when they started recruiting Management Trainees from different states. Even my fellow Management Trainees have been dismissed by the company due to low performance during their probation.

Is This Legal?

My question is, is this legal? Since we don't have any prescribed benchmarks (nothing has been mentioned in our policy manual) for confirmation norms, can our fate be decided solely by the management?
