General policy: It is basic department policy to cooperate in promoting the development of joint national standards of apprenticeship agreed upon by the appropriate national organizations concerned. When national standards for various reasons cannot be obtained, national policy statements by employer or employee organizations which observe the fundamentals of apprenticeship are recognized as guides by the SAA in the promotion of apprenticeship among the members of the organizations which formulate the policy.
