These 24 standards have been adopted by the Automotive Service Industry Association to provide well-planned, properly supervised training for apprentices to develop into competent machinists. The goal of the standards is to establish and maintain high criteria of workmanship, to develop knowledge by workers of technical and theoretical aspects of their craft, and to assure the employer of proficient workmen. Appendixes include forms for application for apprenticeship and employment interview evaluation, a curriculum of related technical instruction, and address listings of regional offices of the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training and of state and territorial apprenticeship agencies.
