8 2010 and Beyond Chuck Poss, Management Co-Chair For the past seven years the Laborers Southern California Apprenticeship Program has developed partnerships with outside entities that have business plans that are comparable to our own. Before I address the future goal of developing future partnerships, I want to recognize the partnerships that have helped us build a strong foundation to date. They Include: Southern California District Council of Laborers Laborers State Council California Department of Industrial Relations California Division of Apprenticeship Standards California Apprenticeship Council Southern California Contractors Association Building Industry Association Associated General Contractors of California Engineering Contractors Association Laborers Employers Cooperation Education Trust Associated Third Party Administrators Construction Laborers Trust Funds of Southern California Laborers AGC Helmets to Hard Hats Playa Vista Jobs Los Angeles Works We Build Program LAX Century Community Training Program Los Angeles Unified School District Hacienda La Puente Adult Education Oxnard College California State University Channel Islands Communities in Schools U.S. Department of Labor - Office of Apprenticeship Flintridge Foundation California Employment Development Department City of Los Angeles - Office of Contract Comp- Liance Chaffey College Provisional Accelerated Learning Center Center for Contract Compliance The goal of our apprenticeship program is to provide the best trained and productive work force in the construction industry. Our Trustees, Joint Apprenticeship Committee, Sub Committees, Coordinators, Instructors, Administrative Staff, Maintenance, Event Coordinators, and all Industry players above, pursue this goal with vigilance. Our Executive Director and his management staff work diligently to meet the needs of both Management and Labor. The point of this article is to Dare to Dream and ask, What do we want the future to look like? At the most recent Board of Trustees meeting, we asked ourselves this very question. Our Business Plan has been defined, but we want to develop a list of future partnerships to consider as our five-year plan is unveiled. In addition, we want to provide environmental and specialty training to our apprentices so that our contractors can compete more effectively in the current business marketplace that is clamoring for this type of labor expertise. Mike Quevedo, Jr. and I would like to thank everyone that makes our program successful, from the staff to professionals and consultants. We also want to acknowledge our partners for the value they add to our organization. In strengthening our ties with current partners and forging new alliances, we anticipate the future and what it holds.

15 LABORERS APPRENTICESHIP REQUEST TO INDENTURE APPRENTICE FORM The Laborers JAC requires signatory contractors who want to sponsor a Construction Craft Laborer Apprentice to petition the JAC to indenture the Apprentice. This means that you must complete this form and send all applicants to be assessed for physical fitness, undergo a drug test, and complete necessary paperwork before they are dispatched to the work site. If the Apprentice is not properly indentured in the Program, the State of California will not consider the worker an Apprentice for purposes of working on public works projects; or for any other projects. A dispatch by the Local Union is insufficient to indenture the Apprentice and will not be accepted by the JAC. The JAC's policy protects signatory contractors from having apprentices on their payroll who are not indentured by the DAS. Contractors who fail to send applicants to the JAC, may be forced to pay additional wages, such as paying for apprentices at the journeyman wage rate, and penalties for being outside the ratio limits. Personnel officers, safety managers, and loss control officers of contractors must complete the procedures outlined above and submit their names as required below. This process will streamline placement. Thank you for your cooperation.
