Apprenticeship
Apprenticeships are About Partnership
In order to train skilled workers of the future, an agreement is entered into between an employer, the employee (apprentice), the program sponsor (the Nebraska South Dakota Chapter of ABC), and the various governing agencies (a licensing board) which regulate apprenticeships. In short, each partner agrees to do certain things so that the apprenticeship agreement is fulfilled. Care must be taken to ensure that each party is knowledgeable and exhibits due diligence about their responsibilities. These responsibilities may include a wage progression, reporting on the job learning, attending training classes, and demonstrating proficiencies and complying with ratios concerning journeyman to apprentice.
