2008 Master Group Non Joint Guideline Standards

SECTION I - INTRODUCTION

The Sponsor enters this Affirmative Action Plan (AAP) with good faith for the purpose of

promoting equality of opportunity into its Registered Apprenticeship Program.

The

Sponsor seeks to increase the recruitment of qualified women and/or minorities for

possible selection into the apprenticeship program in the event women and/or minorities

are underutilized in the apprenticeship program. The Sponsor hereby adopts the

following nondiscriminatory pledge and the AAP.

This Plan is a supplement to the Apprenticeship Standards. Any changes made by the

Sponsor will become part of this written AAP, once approved by the Registration

Agency.

SECTION II - EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PLEDGE

The Sponsor commits to the following Equal Opportunity Pledge:

“The recruitment, selection, employment, and training of apprentices during their

apprenticeship, shall be without discrimination because of race, color, religion, national

origin, or sex. The Sponsor will take affirmative action to provide equal opportunity in

apprenticeship and will operate the apprenticeship program as required under Title 29

of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 30.”

SECTION III - UTILIZATION AND ANALYSIS, GOALS AND TIMETABLES

In order to allow positive recruitment and full utilization of minorities and women in the

apprenticeship program, the Sponsor pledges to identify outreach efforts under Section

IV which will be undertaken. The purpose of the analysis is to determine the minority

and women’s labor force in the Sponsor’s labor market area. Once the labor force is

determined, the Sponsor can determine if deficiencies exist in terms of underutilization

of minorities and/or women in the occupations registered with the Registration Agency.

(See attached Affirmative Action Plan Workforce Analysis Worksheet)

SECTION IV - OUTREACH AND POSITIVE RECRUITMENT

The Sponsor’s AAP includes the following “checked” outreach and positive recruitment

efforts that would reasonably be expected to increase minority and women’s

participation in apprenticeship by expanding the opportunity of minorities and women to

become eligible for apprenticeship selection. Once those efforts have been checked,

the Sponsor will set forth the specific steps they intend to take under each

identified effort. The Sponsor will identify a significant number of activities in order
