As a contractor or subcontractor, what are my obligations with regard to the hiring and training of apprentices?
A. When employing workers in any apprenticeable craft or trade, the contractor and subcontractor must apply to the appropriate joint apprenticeship committee for certification to employ and train apprentices in the affected industry. Contractors not signatory to a trust agreement shall contribute a training fee to the California Apprenticeship Council for each hour worked on the project. Awards of less than thirty thousand dollars are exempt from this provision.
