Section IX-307 - Procedure for the Cancellation or Termination of Apprenticeship Agreements and Issuance of Interim Credentials and Certificates of Completion

A. The director of apprenticeship may terminate or cancel any apprenticeship agreement in accordance with the provisions of that agreement.

B. In the event that an agreement is terminated by mutual consent of all parties thereto, no opportunity for a hearing prior to such termination is required.

C. Prior to the cancellation or termination of an agreement for reasons other than mutual agreement of all parties, the parties to such agreement shall be afforded an opportunity for hearing after reasonable notice. Such notice and hearing shall conform to the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 49:955.

D. Programs that adopt competency or hybrid structured standards of apprenticeship may request interim credentials for certification of competency attainments made by an apprentice from the Office of Apprenticeship, United States Department of Labor.

E. Upon the satisfactory completion of apprenticeship, the director of apprenticeship shall issue a certificate of completion of apprenticeship showing the trade in which apprenticeship was served, the date of completion and the name of the program sponsor. A completion certificate shall be issued only after the director of apprenticeship has received an electronic request through the Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Data System (RAPIDS) for such completion certificate, signed by a representative of the pertinent program sponsor, which signature shall certify that the required training and related instruction has been completed, or after the apprentice has furnished to the director of apprenticeship documented evidence which proves that the required training and related instruction has been completed. If there exists extenuating circumstances in which the program sponsor is unable to access RAPIDS, a written request will be accepted.
