What type of policies must apprentices adhere to during their training?

Apprentices are required to adhere to local JATC policies and standards because these guidelines are specifically designed to align with the training and educational requirements of the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC). The JATC establishes these policies to ensure that apprentices receive the necessary instruction, mentoring, and practical experience that meets both industry standards and local regulations.

Following local JATC policies helps apprentices navigate the specific expectations and practices that are pertinent to their training environment, including requirements related to work performance, attendance, and conduct. This local focus ensures that apprentices are adequately prepared for their specific trades and are in compliance with the expectations set by the JATC in their region.

While general industry policies, national training standards, and safety and compliance regulations may also be important, they do not account for the specific local context and operational procedures that the JATC dictates, which are crucial for an apprentice's success in their training program.
