Can a contractor train a person in an apprenticeship classification, count that and then turn around and train that person in another OJT or apprenticeship classification on the same project?
While this is possible, FHWA does not endorse this practice. This practice is not suitable or recommended for the program because this would raise a question about the contractor’s good faith effort (GFE) demonstration to enroll minorities, females, and disadvantaged persons available for training opportunities and fulfilling its EEO contract provisions. Equal employment and nondiscrimination is the intent of the OJT Program.
