Common use of Officially Recognized Apprenticeable Occupations Clause in Contracts

Officially Recognized Apprenticeable Occupations. For sponsors who use a slightly different occupational title, OA staff may use the sponsor’s title as long as the officially recognized occupational title is included in parenthesis under the sponsor’s occupational title. Please see attached “sample” for reference. The term “journeyman, journeyworker, journeyperson, etc.” should not be included in the occupational title. These terms are used to describe a level of competency rather than an occupational title. In rare instances where a program sponsor may utilize such a term above in their occupational title and that terminology is consistently used within their organization and training materials, OA staff may use that terminology on the sponsor’s occupational title as long as the officially recognized occupational title is listed in parenthesis under the sponsor’s title. The practice of using a level of competency in the occupational title should be discouraged when possible. The sponsor’s name on the Certificate of Completion of Apprenticeship shall be as it is registered and approved in their apprenticeship standards. The date completed shall be the date of completion as indicated on the request form.
