BILL NUMBER:S3748
Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to membership of the state apprenticeship and training council
Purpose of the bill
To clarify that at least one member of the state apprenticeship and training council shall be a representative of an association of employers with a group non-joint apprenticeship program.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 of the bill would amend the Labor Law to clarify that at least one of the members of the state apprenticeship and training council shall be a representative of an association of employers with a group non-joint apprenticeship program.
Existing law
Section 813 of the Labor Law establishes the State Apprenticeship and Training Council, a seven member advisory body appointed by the Governor which advises the Commissioner of Labor on apprentice training matters.
Justification
The State Apprenticeship and Training Council ("Council") is composed of three representatives from employer organizations, three representatives from employee organizations and one representative from the general public. This body was established in 1961 to advise the Commissioner of Labor on apprenticeship training matters. The Department has oversight for apprenticeship programs, whereby workers receive practical and classroom training in a specific technical skill (e.g., carpentry, electric, masonry), and relies on the Council to provide input and advice on matters to improve the effectiveness of such apprenticeship programs.
Various employers and groups or associations of employers sponsor extensive apprenticeship training programs throughout the State. However, the Council, while including "employer organizations," has not included an appointee from an employer or employer association which is the sole sponsor of such training programs. This bill would ensure that at least one employer representative brings the views of an employer-sponsored training program. Given that employer-sponsored training programs arc an important component for apprenticeship training, providing employers with the opportunity to give their input on the Council will enhance the quality of the Council's advice.
