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.
