2008 Operating Engineers Apprenticeship Notice |
NOTE: CAWP has provided this notice to 100 minority & female referral sources on behalf of CAWP members. The Association’s efforts are intended to reduce the administrative EEO burden on contractors by eliminating step # 1 below while maintaining EEO compliance. To view or print a copy of the letter and/or the list of referral sources, visit www.cawp.org under EEO.
DISTRIBUTION & POSTING REQUIRED
The following Apprenticeship Program is opening its application period:
| Program: |
Western Pennsylvania Operating Engineers Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program |
| Craft: |
Heavy Equipment Operators and Mechanics |
| Application Dates: |
January 21 – February 1, 2008 |
| Details: |
See attached notice for additional information |
In order to comply with Federal EEO regulations, contractors are required to complete these steps:
1.
|
Send the attached apprenticeship notice with a cover letter to at least three (3) minority and female referral sources (PA CareerLinks, Urban League, Hispanic Center, etc.) located in the area where your company performs the majority of its work. This must be done immediately because Federal EEO regulations require these letters to be sent no later than one (1) month prior to the date for acceptance of applications. |
| 2. |
Post the attached apprenticeship notice on company bulletin boards (office and project site). |
3.
|
Conduct tool box talk or other group meeting at bulletin boards to review apprenticeship opportunities. |
4.
|
Include a copy of the attached apprenticeship notice in paychecks issued prior to the application period. |
5.
|
Document steps 1-4 for your EEO files in the event your company undergoes an EEO compliance review. |
In accordance with other EEO obligations, if the unions can not fulfill your minority and female employment needs, then calls to minority and female referral sources should be made and documented. The purpose of the calls should be to recruit potential employees and to direct applicants into the union apprenticeship programs.
This EEO Bulletin may be downloaded at www.cawp.org under EEO. If you have any questions, or need a list of minority or female referral sources, please call the Association office at (412) 343-8000.
