Training on Apprenticeship Utilization Requirements

I provided training on Tuesday, January 19, 2010 for a number of school districts on the apprenticeship utilization requirements on pubic works projects, as required by RCW 39.04.320. 

The training was sponsored by the Washington Association of School Business Officials (WASBO) and was held in at the Edmonds School District offices with a number of other school districts participating in the training through teleconferencing technology.

RCW 39.04.320 affects all school districts in the State of Washington, the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT), the Department of General Administration, and all institutions of higher education in the state, and requires, when fully implemented, that 15% of all labor hours on a public works project estimated to cost $1 million or more be performed by apprentices enrolled in a state approved apprenticeship and training program.
