to
Apprenticeship is training in those industrial
occupations requiring a wide and diverse range
of skills and knowledge. Apprenticeship training
consists of planned on the job training and ex-
perience under proper supervision, combined with
technical studies in subjects related to the
specific trade.
Apprenticeship terms range from one to five years
depending upon the specific trade. The requirements
to master a particular grade include: (1) learning
all or most of the skills of the tirade (2) perfecting
the specific skills (3) acquiring rapid execution of
the specific skills (4) extending the utility of
specific skills in relation to genera]. skills.
II. Statement of Purpose
Traditionally, blacks have been underutilized within
the trades classifications within the City of Miami.
To illustrate, only ono black journeyman level mechanic
is employed within the Property Maintenance Division.
We do not feel that this is the result of attitudes of
discrimination but of ,i general under representation
within the construction industry in Dade County,
Florida from which applicants are drawn. To relieve
this situation in the hest interests of the City of
Miami with an influence upon thcr conditions of com-
pliance with the Consent Decree and the acquisition of
truly first rate employees, we respectfully submit
a general summary of the City of Miami Apprentice
Program.
III. Initial Pr ccures
The initial procedures of the Apprentice Program
will include recruitment and selection of applicants.
Generally these functions should be centralized within
one agency and shall include the following:
A. Recruitment
1. The analysis of the current recruitment pro-
cedures in eacl, task classification affected
by the Apprentice Program
2. The establishment of objective measures to
analyze and monitor the recruitment process
a. The developnent of an applicant flow
record indicating for each apprentice
applicant na7le, race, national origin,
sex, referral source, date of application,
and position applied for
Selection Process
1, Applicants for the Apprentice Program shall be
selected from seniors in high schools within
the City of Miami. Equal representation of
minority impacted high schools shall be promoted
to alleviate economic disadvantage and geogra-
phical racial impaction.

on the job training from the journeyman, the quality
of the training depends on the number of journeymen
available to instruct the apprentices and the ability
of the journeymen as instructors. It is seldom that
a ratio of more than one apprentice to three journeymen
is effective.
H. Apprentice !,'ages

a percentage of the skilled journeyman rate. There
should he progressively increasing schedule of wages
