TO PRESENT AND PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS OFAPPRENTICES IN THE PLUMBING INDUSTRY,

These plumbing apprentice standards spell out that an apprenticeshall "conduct himself at all times in a creditable, ethical, andmoral manner, recognizing that much time, money, and efrort arespent in affording him an opportunity to become a skilled crafts-

man.'

These words indicate that the heart of the program is that the United

Association, the United States Department of Labor, and the NationalAssociation of Plumbing, Heating, Cooling Contractors in joint effortshave recognized and have worked so diligently toward the goal ofhighest standards to mold the apprentice into a skilled craftsmanof this industry which has become the model of the constructionworld.

Many men have worked together and have willingly sacrificed theirtime and money to achieve their dream of perpetuating the pride incraftsmanship which has been so well identified with the NationalJoint Plumbing Apprentice and Journeymen Training Committee and themany local and state J.A.T.C. who contribute so much to making the

program successful,

No one is more aware than I am, being a graduate of this apprentice

program, that the up-grading of these standards is another step inmeeting the continuing challenge of cha,,ge in our industry.

It is with pride that I add the endorsement of N.A.P.H.C.C. in jointeffort with the United Association, and the U. S. Department of Labor,to the continuing development of our youth in joining and participating

in the finest p-ogram and standards in the construction industry:

Sin,erely you

PREFACE

The object of these apprenticeship standards is to establish thenecessary rules to allow a young person to apply for and be part ofthe plumbing and steamfitting-pipefitting industry. Today, morethan ever, the apprentice must be both protected and made awareof his responsibilities. Also, these standards will allow the piping in-

to secuie 0 5u ficient suppw of trained journeymen.

To establish these goals, the National Joint Plumbing Appren-tice and Journeyman Training Committee and the National JointSteamfitter-Pipefitter Apprenticeship Committee have establishedthese standards.

The authority of the National Joint Committees to act tiponall matters affecting apprenticeship will be on a basis of voluntarycooperation by each of the respective organizations. The authorityof said National Joint Committees, however, shall be considered byall parties participating in formal apprenticeship functions for theplumbing and steamfitting-pipefitting industry as representative ofthe industry and as official when pertaining to basic policies such asdevelopment and revisions of national apprenticeship standards,affirmative action programs, apprentice selection procedures, andcourse outlines.

All functions of the National Joint Committees shall be on thebasis of nonprofit endeavor for the good and welfare of apprentice-ship and training for the industry and in the best interests of theapprentice, management, labor, and the public.

The following pattern standards are approved by the Bureau ofApprenticeship and Training, U.S. Department of Labor, for adop-tion by local joint apprenticeship and training committees.
