These revised national standards are designed to assist local unions in establishing local apprenticeship and training programs for drafters. Covered in the individual sections are the following topics: provisions of the apprenticeship standards for drafters (definitions, qualifications for application, the selection of applicants, credit for previous experience and education, the terms of apprenticeship, apprenticeship agreements, supervision, probationary periods, hours of work, salaries, examinations, related instruction, ratios of apprentices to journeymen, work experience, management and labor relations, and equal opportunity); supervision of the program (local joint apprenticeship and training committees, responsibilities of apprentices, committee consultants, recognition of completion of apprenticeship, filing with registration agencies, safety and health, and modification of standards); and federal laws and regulations affecting the employment of apprentices. The appendixes contain schedules of recommended work processes and related technical instruction for manufacturing, marine, and architectural drafters. (MN)
