TRADE APPRENTICE PROGRAM Clause Samples
The Trade Apprentice Program clause establishes the framework for hiring and training apprentices within a company or organization. It typically outlines eligibility requirements, duration of the apprenticeship, and the responsibilities of both the apprentice and the employer, such as providing on-the-job training and mentorship. This clause ensures a structured approach to workforce development, helping organizations cultivate skilled workers while providing apprentices with valuable hands-on experience and career pathways.
TRADE APPRENTICE PROGRAM. The parties agree to the following wording related to the Trade Apprenticeship program:
1. Apprenticeship openings will be filled in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03(b) (Job Postings). Employees who meet the educational level specified by the Apprenticeship Act will qualify.
2. There will be a probationary period of up to thirty (30) working days prior to entering into an Apprenticeship Agreement, during which time the employee may return, or failing to display the necessary mechanical aptitude be returned to his former job without loss of seniority.
3. Any apprenticeship who fails to satisfactorily complete the Ontario Apprenticeship program may be retained in his classification and allowed to progress to Mechanic I without prejudice.
4. Once an employee enters an apprenticeship contract, it is expected he will continue to fulfil the obligations of the contract, including necessary training periods in a vocational school
5. The apprentice may receive a weekly training allowance from the government while attending a Trade School Course. The Company will supplement this allowance to provide the apprentice with a total weekly income equal to forty (40) times his regular hourly rate of pay. Calculation of the Company’s portion will be based on the government’s allowance for an apprentice who is able to live at home while attending the Trade School. If the apprentice is required to live away from home in order to attend a Trade School, he will receive the Company pay supplement referred to above in addition to any increase allowance paid by the government to an apprentice living away from home while attending school. An apprentice’s entitlement for Vacation with Pay, Paid Holiday Pay, Weekly Indemnity, Funeral, and Bereavement Leave will not be affected by his attendance at a Trade School nor will his participation in any employee welfare plans in which he is enrolled.
6. Providing a Tradesman has completed the time in the trade necessary to write for a Provincial Trade Certificate, he may write for such certificate and receive the “A” rate immediately following his course of studies and notification that a Trade Certificate will be issued. If an apprentice is entitled to a reduction in term of his apprenticeship because of academic achievement, he shall enter his apprenticeship at the proper category as per the job description.
