How Do I Draft an Appointment Letter for a Trainee Under 18? Seeking Format Suggestions

Hi, I want an appointment letter format for a trainee who is below 18 years old.

There are a lot of formalities associated with appointing a person under 18 years of age. One major challenge is that you cannot make a contract with a minor. You have to consult a medical officer to appoint an adolescent. At the same time, if you take on an apprentice following the Apprentice Act, you can manage the situation. This apprenticeship can be either for a designated trade or an optional trade. You need to register your establishment under the portal of the National Apprentice Training Schemes.

I don't understand why a minor should be engaged. Yes, you may have your reasons, but what is the type of your organization and the applicable act? Please examine whether there is a provision permitting a minor for appointment. However, you can enter into an agreement with his parent acting as the guardian of the minor.
