APPRENTICE UTILIZATION
Smart for Business, Smart for Washington
Apprenticeships are a combination of both on the job experience and classroom instruction that provide
individuals with an effective way of entering the skilled workforce. 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.
