Apprentices earn a living wage throughout their education period, with periodic raises to reflect increased experience and commitment. Once the apprenticeship is completed, workers receive full journey level wages and possess a trade certification that is recognized nationwide. Nevertheless, a growing disparity between the demand for skilled workers and an available supply of qualified hands emphasizes the need for greater participation in the program. A proven way of addressing this "skills gap" is through apprenticeship utilization on public works projects. Apprenticeship utilization saves money for both business and the taxpayer. Reduced prevailing wage rates for apprentice's cuts contractor cost and lowers the overall price tag for the public. Reasonable requirements are easy for contractors to satisfy. Every bidder that has been awarded bids for executive agency work has been able to meet the percentages outlined in first the executive order, and little has changed not that's law in Washington. Not only that, but a phase-in period allows for businesses to adapt to the new requirements. Journey level workers will not be displaced. Demographic shifts confirm the inevitability of a looming skills gap that was recognized by both labor and management in construction over a decade ago. The skills gap is now upon the construction industry and will gain momentum as more "Baby Boomers" retire. Many more skilled journey level workers are needed now, developing the skills of such workers takes time and dedication to maintain quality, safety and productivity. Exceptions are allowed under certain circumstances. Recognizing that not all contractors and subcontractors can be expected to satisfy these requirements on every job a process is set up whereby exemptions can be applied for if it can be demonstrated that apprentices are not available. Apprenticeships create living wage jobs. While entry level apprentice wages vary from craft to craft, one can usually expect to start at around twice the minimum wage. Apprenticeship utilization generates careers that lift people out of poverty, not mire them in it. Advancement is limited to one's imagination and drive to succeed. The future of our state economy depends on worker education programs. A highly skilled, well- paid workforce is fundamental to the growth and stability of Washington State's economy. Apprenticeship utilization requirements came at a very important crossroads that should sustain the necessary skilled workforce needed to rebuild our infrastructures in the light of tomorrows technologies. Running Start to the Trades will help the construction industry reach the minds of younger students and guide parents and educators to take a closer look at the options and benefits they have available through apprenticeship in rewarding construction careers. 71r -r i ..5...9llMSt'• - .c..r.r..•.�. dill S tptn st AP16 ► F s �l i L any 410tr S N 40th Ave m S yO Z S 0co c y Z o 3 rfa_ mac° o C-) ay 414E S_a ° < any 41veN '0g3 o O o - -�-3 - _ c)S� o:E w (ftg n o_ `�° m< (D `3 m rn zw 0 o YfG < m'< Q_((DD s70 n p? m (D n (D _.
