Interns are not apprentices. Apprentices are from a specific industry only, and the number, stipend, and conditions are governed by the apprentice advisory of the government. You need to follow the procedure, register with them, and then recruit in line with their approval.
Apart from that, an apprenticeship program may also be provided for in the certified standing orders.
