Approved training agents from other jurisdictions must meet the individual committee’s training agent requirements to be approved as a traveling training agent in accordance with the following requirements.
A contractor applying for traveling training agent status must:
- A letter from the out-of-area apprenticeship program must be submitted verifying that the employer is an approved training agent and is currently in good standing with that committee and has been a training agent for at least 1 year prior to seeking traveling agent status with this committee.
- The traveling training agent may bring apprentices from its home jurisdiction with approval by that committee, if appropriate arrangements have been made for related training with this committee.
- If the traveling training agent does not bring apprentices from its home jurisdiction, it must hire apprentices from this committee’s out-of-work list. If there are no unemployed apprentices, the traveling training agent may request applicants from this committee’s applicant ready for employment pool in accordance with the approved selection procedure.
- If the Training Agent is located outside the geographical area of the Committee but does a majority of work within the geographical area of this committee, the Training Agent may request to be recognized as a traveling training agent. The Training Agent must submit verifiable documentation that a preponderance of work is completed within the geographical area of this committee. The Committee will ask the Director of ATD to grant exceptional traveling training agent status to the company. Only the Director of the State Apprenticeship department has the authority to make this decision.
