| SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS | |
| Approve Agreements for Educational Services with Building Trades Apprenticeship/Preapprenticeship Committees, Erwin Technical College, 2016/2017 (Curriculum and Instruction Division) | |
| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
| We request approval of the Agreements for Educational Services to continue to provide training for 16 building trades apprenticeship committees and two preapprenticeship committees. For more than 24 years, the district has had active educational agreements with the building trades apprenticeship committees for adult job training programs.
The apprenticeship committees are compensated $0.95 per instructional hour for each registered apprentice. The contracted funds are used to cover instructor salaries/benefits; program promotion; instructional materials and supplies; equipment upgrade, replacement, and repair; and other supervisory and administrative costs to include, but not limited to, lease expenses for classroom facilities and equipment, travel, mileage, conferences, registrations, and professional meetings. |
