The following are some of the characteristics of the basic standards under Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 29.5:

  • full and fair opportunity to apply for apprenticeship;

  • a schedule of work processes in which an apprentice is to receive training and experience on the job;

  • the program includes organized instruction designed to provide apprentices with knowledge in technical subjects related to their trade (e.g., a minimum of 144 hours per year is normally considered necessary);

  • a progressively increasing schedule of wages;

  • proper supervision of on-the-job training with adequate facilities to train apprentices;

  • apprentice's progress, both in job performances and related instruction is evaluated periodically and appropriate records are maintained;

  • no discrimination in any phase of selection, employment, or training.
