Equal Employment Opportunity

All Apprenticeship Sponsors already comply with the Equal Opportunity Pledge which can be found in your program standards.

 

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PLEDGE

Equal Opportunity Pledge: The recruitment, selection, employment, and training of apprentices will be without discrimination because of race, color, sex, pregnancy, childbirth or medical conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth, political or religious affiliation or ideas, culture, creed, social origin or condition, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, military service or veteran status, or marital status. (29 CFR 29.5 (b) (21) and 30.3 (b); ARM 24.21.421; EO 04-2016)

 

For sponsors with 5 or more apprentices, your apprenticeship representative can help you adopt your affirmative action plan and selection procedures to help with recruitment and outreach in your community.

 

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN & SELECTION PROCEDURES

Sponsors with 5 or more registered apprentices are required to adopt an affirmative action plan and selection procedures, which will become part of these standards of apprenticeship. However, the Registration Agency encourages the development of these two plans for all programs regardless of apprentice numbers. For programs with fewer than 5 apprentices, these plans are not required, and the sponsor may continue to select apprentices in conformance with its current human resources and equal employment opportunity hiring policies. (29 CFR 29.5 (b) (21), 30.4, and 30.5)

OUTREACH LOG and APPLICANT LOGS

 

All sponsors actively recruiting and still falling short of goals are still fulfilling their responsibility under the “Good Faith Effort, “that is included in your Affirmative Action Plan if applicable to your program.
