008.01(A)(ii) APPRENTICESHIP.

An apprenticeship may be applied for and entered into with a trade organization. An individual participating in an apprenticeship must complete the program and be fully employed in the trade within the individual’s time limit. An apprenticeship program cannot be included in the Self-Sufficiency Contract if the individual has a skill that can be marketed and can be reasonably expected to provide a wage leading to economic self- sufficiency in the current, area-specific labor market and the client is physically, mentally and emotionally able to utilize those skills through employment.
