Contract of apprenticeship is a contract that establishes the terms and conditions of a work relationship between an employer and an apprentice, or between employers and other labor organizations. Under the law, apprenticeship is a relationship in which an individual receives instruction or training from a master in an occupational field. Apprentices are expected to follow their masters' instructions and work under the supervision of their masters. These relationships are typically governed by apprenticeship laws or regulations.
Contracts of apprenticeship provide that employers will train employees, who will in turn be supervised by employers. These types of relationships may be formal or informal; they may or not require any written contract.
The following are some of the features of a contract of apprenticeship.
The employer is responsible for providing the training and supervision necessary to enable the apprentice to acquire the skills required by his or her trade or occupation.
The employer undertakes to provide appropriate instruction and supervision in accordance with requirements laid down by law.
The nature and duration of the training will be agreed between employer and apprentice, but must be sufficient to enable him/her to earn a living at his/her trade or occupation.
The apprentice can only receive payment for work done under the contract during periods when he/she has been on approved training.
The apprentice must agree that he/she will not engage in any other employment while working under this contract except where it is expressly permitted by law.
