Define Work Process Schedule Apprenticeship programs can be customized to meet the needs of business and the skills of apprentices. Choose your design: • • • Time-based: apprentices complete a required number of hours in on-the-job training and related instruction Competency-based: apprentices progress at their own pace – they demonstrate competency in skills and knowledge through proficiency tests, but are not required to complete a specific number of hours. Hybrid approach: use minimum and maximum range of hours and the successful demonstration of identified and measured competencies. Click here to contact a consultant for assistance Back to Flowchart

Then build in progressive wage increases for the apprenticeship program as skills benchmarks are attained by the apprentices.
