apprenticeship agreement and apply oneself both on the job and in the related
training program and continually strive to become a skilled journeyman. The
apprentice must not miss work or related training classes except for good cause.
The apprentice must comply with the provisions of these standards and any
applicable agreement.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS OF AN
EMPLOYER

apprenticeship facilities, training and working conditions are:
The
employer must have and maintain at all times sufficient plant facilities,
equipment and fully trained journeymen to train in the work processes and comply
with the provisions of these standards. A valid certification by the appropriate
apprenticeship committee that the employer is an appropriate training agency
shall be prima facie proof of compliance with this section.
Working
conditions of apprentices shall conform with all laws and regulations affecting
their health, welfare and safety.
DUTIES OF AN EMPLOYER
13. The employer shall take all steps necessary to see
that each apprentice works under and with competent journeymen in the occupation
for which the apprentice is being trained and is assigned to working and
learning tasks so that the apprentice masters the on-the-job training and
related instruction.
The employer must comply with
the provisions of these standards and any agreement applicable to the sponsor's
program. The employer, on forms approved by the Council, must make regular
reports to the appropriate apprenticeship committee.

Federal Regulations, Part 30, and Equal Employment Regulation of the Oregon
State Apprenticeship and Training Council.

employees to be trained, a copy of its application for registration and of the
apprenticeship program, etc.
PERIODIC REVIEW, EVALUATION AND
MAINTENANCE OF PROGRESS RECORDS

evaluate the apprentice's progress in job performance and related instruction;
and the maintenance of appropriate progress records. The basic evidence of such
advancement shall be the record of the apprentice's progress on the job and
during related instruction. If such progress is not satisfactory, the sponsor
shall have the right to withhold their periodic wage advancements, suspend or
revoke the Apprenticeship Agreement, or make such recommendations, it feels
desirable. A recordkeeping system shall be established by the sponsor for such
purposes.
CREDIT FOR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
17. Applicants accepted by the sponsor, who have
creditable experience in the skilled occupation or in some other related

for any progression steps so granted.

experience necessary for all-around training and experience in the various
processes of the occupation, as set forth in the apprenticeship agreement; or
where the sponsor's business is of such character as not to provide reasonably
continuous employment, the sponsor may arrange for transferring their training
obligation to another employer under the same program with consent of the
apprentice and apprenticeship committee or program sponsor. If, for any reason,
a lay-off of an apprentice occurs, the apprenticeship agreement shall remain in
effect, unless canceled by the sponsor.

set forth in these standards, and passing such examination as the sponsor may
require, sponsor shall recommend that the registration agency issue a

betterment of the apprenticeship system, by submitting proposed modification(s)
or change(s), in writing to the registration agency for approval.
Cancellation and deregistration
of the program may be accomplished voluntarily, by a written request from the
sponsor to the registration agency, or by formal deregistration proceedings.
