Bering Straits Apprentiship Program Meeting Notes:
Introductions- sign in
Present at the meeting were: Tony Parsons; Rob Bensin; Paul Whipple; Matt Michels; Lew Tobin
Review of Apprentice’s Programs (who’s in and who’s not), & what to do with “old” apprentices
4 apprentices finished the NCCER CORE (safety) class last summer and Lew has their NCCER certificates and membership cards. He will hold on to them and either give them to the apprentices or hold them in the files. Many of the new Apprentices are no longer at their original jobs for the professions. We will keep them on file for 2 years.
Report on classes for apprentices
No new classes have been planned for the apprentices as yet. We are still working on classes in Alternative energy and Electrician 4 but have no plans or times yet. A plumbing class is planned if we can find an instructor.
Discussions for new apprentices
No new Apprentices were suggested.
Grant needs pictures of apprentices, in action-- Every quarter
Always a concern. Everyone is encouraged to send pictures in when they get them.
