On-the-Job-Training
Every apprentice(s) participating in a registered
apprenticeship program enters into an Apprenticeship
Agreement. The apprenticeship program sponsor and the
apprentice agree to the terms of the Apprenticeship
Standards incorporated as part of the Agreement. The
on-the-job component is structured, supervised
on-the-job training consisting of at least 2,000 hours
depending on the occupation. The actual on-the-job
training is outlined in the Apprenticeship Standards.
The apprentice is supervised during the term of the
apprenticeship by a skilled craft worker(s). The
supervisor reviews, evaluates and maintains records
relating to the apprentice's job performance. Upon entry
into the apprenticeship program, apprentice(s) are paid
a progressively increasing schedule of wages. As the
apprentice(s) demonstrate satisfactory progress in both
the on-the-job training and related instruction, they
are advanced in accordance with the wage schedule as
outlined in the registered Apprenticeship Standards.
