From the Vice President of Education and Training On behalf of the Board of Directors of ABC Institute, the Apprenticeship Trade Committees, and the staff of ABC Institute, I want to take this opportunity to welcome you to our school. This employer’s guide is written expressly for the apprenticeship and other individuals who are considering careers in the construction industry. You will get familiar with the nature of the program, and its values and requirements. This is especially important when the program involves training for a lifelong occupation. The general increase in building construction at the present time demands a great number of highly-skilled craft workers. Current construction methods used to build modern offices, homes, and factories requires the highest degree of proficiency, knowledge and workmanship. Today, the successful construction worker must have both the “know-how” and the “know-why” skills of the trade to succeed in this challenging and rewarding career field. Over the years the construction industry has changed; technological advances have created new improvements, new ideas, and new processes. Today, the work involved in all the construction fields is so closely related to technical and theoretical concepts that only a trained person can do the job. Since 1976, Associated Builders and Contractors has been providing individuals with the knowledge and skills that you will need for your employees to be safe and successfully complete your projects. The ABC Institute (ABCI) apprenticeship training programs have been developed to provide you with the quality educational and practical skills that you will need to build your workforce. The successful completion of apprenticeship training leading to Journey-person certification is the first step on the career ladder. The ABCI staff is here and available to help you climb the ladder of success, please feel free to call on them should you have any questions. Sincerely, eâà{ g|ÜtwÉ Vice President of Education and Training

4. Termination of Apprentices

1. Dismissing an apprentice The apprentice is your employee. You can fire him/her. However, the committee recommends that you use the evaluations in section 3 as part of this process. The apprentice’s prior performance evaluations are a key element in dismissing an apprentice.

2. Lay off If you have to lay off your apprentice, the apprentice should be given five working days notice if possible. Notify ABC Institute if possible to transfer the apprentice to another participating employer.

3. Quitting a job The apprentice has requirements to follow in leaving your company. These requirements are established to promote job stability. The requirements are explained in the apprenticeship guidelines; section 2. If an apprentice is leaving your company, it is necessary that he/she prior to changing employers, is required to notify ABC Institute by providing a completed request to transfer between participating employers form. This is to ensure proper credit of on the job training hours and company sponsorship is registered. Failure to submit the completed transfer procedure may result in non-O-J-T credit hours and deregistration of your apprenticeship. The reason for this action is to help ensure sponsorship of the apprenticeship program is correctly reflected with DOL apprenticeship records. As the participating employer I also understand that if the contractor’s fee is outstanding for my apprentices that no official certification action will be taken by ABC Institute in accordance with section 4 of the Participating Employer Guidelines.

4. Adverse Action The employer will give the apprentice not less than five days notice of any proposed adverse action and cause thereof, with stated opportunity to the apprentice during such time for corrective action.

5. Stealing Apprentices

Any transfer of an apprentice must be cleared through the Program Manager or Vice President of Education and Training. Disregard for section 5 subjects the apprentice to termination.




6. Employer Assistance

Contact the Program Manager or Vice President of Education and Training for any assistance and information in dealing with the Apprenticeship Training Program. ABC Institute is a full service-training provider. We can assist you in many areas of training for your company.

7. Employer Input

The apprenticeship program is an employer-keyed program. It depends on the wants and needs of your trade plus field input from the apprentices’ and employer toward the type and amount of training requirements, as well as the number of personnel to fill your employment needs. Evaluations: a. Instructor evaluation - The instructor monthly evaluations you receive on your apprentice set

the stage for how your employee might be performing on the job. b. The apprenticeship performance evaluation – The evaluation that you send back to ABC

Institute lets us know if counseling or additional training is needed for the individual.

These evaluations are key element in the growth of the apprentice and the tradecraft. Please complete and return to the ABC Institute office upon receipt.

8. Ratio

The ratio of apprentices to a journeyman in the ABC Institute program will not be more than one apprentice for the shop and two apprentice for every three journeymen thereafter (according to Florida Administrative Code Apprenticeship Rules) Prevailing Wage Projects Apprentices and employers must be certified as program participants through ABC Institute for each project. It is recommended that you contact ABC Institute prior to placing an apprentice on a prevailing wage job, so we may explain this process to you! Please be advised a student is not considered a registered apprentice until the Florida Department of Education Representative has approved the individual by signing the apprentice agreement through the Department of Labor’s Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Data System (RAPIDS). It is the responsibility of the Participating




Employer to obtain and possess a fully executed copy of the “DOL PROGRAM REGISTRATION AND APPRENTICESHIP AGREEMENT” before deeming him/her an apprentice on a certified payroll government job.
