Individual training needs will be determined annually in conjunction with applicable performance appraisal cycles (e.g., Pay Adjustments and Awards in the Performance Management Recognition System (PMRS) DLAR 1416.11, and Performance Appraisal for the Performance Management System (PMS) DLAR 1434.1) and IDPs developed using a form specifically developed by DPM for this program.

 

 

 

 

 


SECTION II

APPRENTICE INTAKE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

2-100 PURPOSE.

 

To establish administrative procedure for apprentice recruitment and development. Apprentices are employees who are subject to the same rules and policies governing other employees in the organization. They are called apprentices because they are under a written agreement with their employer to receive job related technical instruction. Apprentices under this program will learn the technical skills associated with a journeyman level WG-5350-10.

 

2-101 GENERAL

 

a. This program emphasizes quality recruitment (intake), selection, development, and appraisal of both current and entry level (WG-5) employees. A successful training experience will be accomplished through carefully selected, productive work experiences and formal training courses that lend themselves to the journeyman level (WG-10) in the job series WG-5350.

b. The production machinery mechanic apprentice that enters the program at the WG-5 level is expected to complete all the training program requirements prior to being eligible for promotion to the WG-10 journeyman level. The production machinery mechanic apprentice who enters the program at a grade other than the entry level will be required to complete a training survey that will be used for forecasting accurate, cost effective training requirements. Program participants will be promoted IAW appropriate OPM and DLA personnel regulations.

c. Employees who successfully complete the program's formal training and OJT requirements will receive a Certificate of Completion from DLA and can be nominated for trade classification under the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training (BAT) Division of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).

 

2-102 RECRUITMENT

 

a. Recruitment will be conducted in conformance with guidance by HQ DLA. Recruitment and selection practices will follow the principle of getting the best qualified available candidate for the position to be filled.

b. Program candidates may be recruited from a variety of sources including Veterans Readjustment Act (VRA) appointments; the handicapped employment program; internal merit promotion program or other OPM certificates of eligibles. Training will be accomplished in accordance with the Agency's overall Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) objective of achieving a work force in which minorities and women are fully represented.

c. Both the entry level participants recruited at the WG-5 level and those current wage grade employees selected to participate in the program must meet the qualification requirements of OPM Handbook X-118C. Current wage grade employees wishing to participate in this POI must complete all formal and OJT and must provide the DPM with a signed ETA Form 671, Apprenticeship Agreement prior to being recommended for DOL trade certification. Any employee wishing to obtain DOL trade certification must actively participate in the program a minimum of six months.

d. All future DLA Job Opportunity Announcements (JOAs) for positions to be filled at less than the journeyman level should state that the position is an "Apprentice Position" and is subject to the training requirements outlined in this manual.

 

2-103 DEFENSE BUSINESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (DBMS) NOTIFICATION.

 

The PLFA will follow DBMS procedures to enter data into the system and to change or exit the trainee from DBMS upon completion of the program.

 

2-104 RECORD KEEPING.

 

The site director and servicing CPOs are required to adhere to training management and administrative requirements listed in applicable Federal, DoD, and DLA regulations. In addition, a record must be maintained for each trainee that documents:

a. Completion of required classroom training.

b. Completion of each required OJT task.

c. Equivalent training approval.

 

2-105 APPRENTICE DEVELOPMENT TRAINING PLAN

 

a. Appendix B contains the training requirements a Production Machinery Mechanic apprentice must complete to reach journeyman level proficiency. Appendix B expresses the training requirements in terms of classroom training and OJT. Classroom training should be scheduled for each participant in the suggested sequence, by year, as listed in the training program. OJT requirements are expressed in specific learning tasks the trainee must accomplish to successfully complete the program. A standard IDP form which outlines the total formal training requirements, by year, should be used by supervisors and apprentices to track individual progress.

b. An apprentice must satisfactorily complete all appropriate mandatory training specified in Appendix B prior to completion of this program and certification from the DOL.

 

2-106 EQUIVALENT TRAINING.

 

Equivalent training is training that can be substituted for required training (see examples in Appendix B). The site supervisor may initiate equivalent training recommendations through the joint apprenticeship committee for approval, to the servicing CPO. A copy of the equivalent training request and approval should be forwarded to the DPM. Requests must include appropriate and sufficient documentation, such as catalog descriptions, course outlines, number of class hours, dates of attendance, and graduation certificate.

 

2-107 SCHEDULING OF CLASSROOM TRAINING

 

a. The site directors are responsible for approving scheduled training courses and assuring the apprentice attends.

b. FUNDING. Tuition and travel expenses incurred for required training will be funded by DGSC, to the site director.

 

2-108 TYPES OF TRAINING

 

a. Formal Training. Formal training consists of Government sponsored courses, courses taught by colleges, universities, technical schools, and private industries, courses taken by correspondence, Computer Based Training (CBT) or Interactive Video Instruction (IVI).

b. OJT. OJT represents the most important segment of the training program. The apprentice will be exposed to a variety of actual work experiences and will be expected to perform increasingly broad and complex job-related tasks. Evaluation will be based upon demonstrated ability to perform "hands-on" work tasks which are performed IAW the standards prescribed in the appropriate learning tasks. Training is designed specifically to impart the skills and knowledges required for the apprentice to perform at the target grade level. OJT comprises the majority of training hours in the POI. It is designed to proceed from the simple to the complex.

 

2-109 APPRENTICE PROGRESSION.

 

Apprentices entering the program at wage grade WG-5 are expected to complete the program by the time they are eligible for promotion to the WG-10 journeyman level. The training plan (Appendix B ) will show the approximate duration of the various phases of the employee's training and development. Wage and step increases will be granted IAW FPM Supplement 532.1, Chapter 11, Subchapter 7.

 

2-110 SEPARATION OF THE EMPLOYEE FROM THE TRAINING PROGRAM

 

a. If a apprentice displays less than fully successful progress during their development under this program, the supervisor may request assistance from the CPO, the Employee Development and Employee Relations Specialist, in assisting the apprentice in overcoming any deficiencies.

b. If, after a apprentice has been given the opportunity to correct identified deficiencies to include individual attention and counseling by their supervisor, he/she is unable to attain a satisfactory level of achievement under this program, he/she may be assigned to a position which is commensurate with their education and experience. However, if this is not feasible, separation from the Federal service may be proposed IAW DLAR 1434.1.

c. IAW with Federal Personnel Manual (FPM), Chapter 410, Section 5-7 (Agreements to Continue In Service), before an employee is assigned to training through a non-Government facility, he or she must agree in writing to continue in the employ of the agency for a specified period of time after completion of the training. Even if the employee does not sign an agreement when he/she is required to sign one, the employee is still obligated under the provisions of FPM 410 (Sec. 5-7a thru Sec. 5-7g), to continue in the service of the agency for the requisite length of time.

 

2-111 PROGRAM COMPLETION

 

a. Upon successful completion of all required formal training and all OJT learning tasks, the supervisor will forward all applicable training development forms to their servicing personnel office, Career Development Office. The Career Development Office will review the submitted documentation to determine if all requirements for an individuals training plan have been met. When the employee has successfully completed all requirements, the Career Development Office that supports the site will forward all applicable forms with request for certificate issuance to the following address: DLA Civilian Personnel Support Office, ATTN: DCPSO-HW,380 Morrison Road Columbus, OH 43213. The DPM will issue the trainee a certificate of program completion signed by the Executive Director of Distribution, HQ DLA, through the site's CPO. If training requirements were modified for a apprentice during the course of the POI, the appropriate documentation should accompany the request for a certificate.

b. Upon receipt of program completion documentation, the DPM will submit the apprentices' application for trade certification to the BAT. The apprentice will receive a certificate of registration for the trade classification of Machine Repairer (Machine Mechanic). In order for the apprentice to obtain BAT certification, it is essential that training progress be tracked IAW factors listed on the IDP and the Apprentice Shop Record.

c. An apprentice who accepts another position or who leaves the site prior to completing the program will not receive a certificate. The site will notify the DPM when a trainee leaves the program prior to completing all requirements.

 

2-112 ORIENTATION OF OJT INSTRUCTORS.

 

The site director should ensure that OJT instructors who have had no prior experience training other employees are thoroughly briefed on all aspects of the program. Assistance is available from DCPSO. This will be accomplished prior to the assignment of the apprentice to the new OJT instructor and should include, as a minimum, the following:

a. An overview of the purpose and organization of the program along with Appendix A and B.

b. Discussion of roles and responsibilities of OJT instructors to include necessary coordination and specific training objectives.
