2. RATIO OF APPRENTICES TO JOURNEYWORKERS
(INSERT RATIO) as covered in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
3. APPRENTICE WAGE SCHEDULE
Apprentices shall be paid a progressively increasing schedule of wages based on a percentage of the current journeyworker wage rate, OR as per the CBA

*The Local Union and the JATC are to insert percentages negotiated in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
A. Apprentices who receive credit for pervious experience in the trade shall be paid, upon entrance to the trade, the wage rate of the period to which such credit advances them.
B. Apprentices who complete the last period and who fail to pass the required journeyman examination shall be required to serve another six months, for which they shall be paid the regular last period rate.
4. SCHEDULE OF WORK EXPERIENCE (See attached Occupation Schedule)
JATCs may modify the work processes to meet local needs prior to submitting these Standards to the appropriate Registration Agency for approval.
5. SCHEDULE OF RELATED INSTRUCTION (See attached Course Outline) Note: The International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Ironworkers recommends a minimum of 204 classroom hours and a maximum of 2000 on-the-job training hours per year for a local union apprenticeship program. This means that the minimum is 612 and 6000 hours for a three-year program and 816 and 8000 hours for a four-year program. The International has established a minimum requirement of 612 hours for a three-year apprenticeship program. While the three-year program is the minimum requirement, the International suggests that local union apprenticeship programs consider 816 hours, which ideally is built into a four-year program.
