Re:         Refresher Contractor Orientation – MANDATORY ACTION REQUIRED

Thank you so very much for supporting ABC NorCal in the fight for free and open competition.  Your commitment to training apprentices and helping to train the next generation of craft professions is how we will keep the construction industry skilled and trained.

As a member in good standing with ABC NorCal you applied and were approved to train ABC NorCal registered apprentices in one or more of the carpenters, construction craft laborer, electrician, painter, or plumber occupation.  At the time you were first approved you attended a mandatory orientation to review the program procedures, and your commitment to training and the required contributions.

The ABC NorCal UAC has always required companies who have not employed apprentices for a twelve- month period to have a refresher orientation and we have been doing that on an individual basis.  To be more efficient and reach each company at least annually as required by Title 8, CCR Section 212.3, the process will now be an annual basis via a webinar. The webinar will cover the requirements and answer questions.

Below are the dates and times options for the mandatory orientation which will take approximately one hour to complete.   In order to keep your Agreement to Train Apprentices with the ABC NorCal UAC active, one or more of your responsible management team representatives is required to register and attend one of the date/times listed below. That person(s) will be sent a direct link to log in at the appropriate date/time.   All companies are required to have a representative attend.  Please register below for date that works best for you and your team.

Date    February 19^th                                Time    Noon

Date     February 25^th                               Time    4:30 PM

Date:    February 26^th                               Time    8:00 AM

MANDATORY ATTENDANCE REQUIRED   Attendance will be logged.

We hope these orientations will help refresh you on the requirements for employing and training ABC NorCal registered apprentices.  Let me know if I can offer any assistance.  I can be reached at 925.960.8502 or aquick@abcnorcal.org
