The various steps in development and implementation of an apprenticeship program are discussed in the remaining sections. They include administering apprenticeship program standards; types of apprenticeship programs (complete and cluster); registering the program standards; developing program standards; enrolling the apprentices; beginning the apprentice; programming the apprentice; maintaining the apprentice; concerns such as wages, conduct and discipline, and complaint procedure; graduating and placing the apprentice/craftworker; and modifying the standards.
