For Thousands of years appienticeship has been themost effective and important method L of training skilled craftspersons. Today,as they have througlrthe ages, apprentices learn the skills of their chosen trades through productive workand under the guidance of highly ,..., skilled, workers. ,A system that can endure for so manyyears ob%iousty offs significant advantages and / rewardsto those who participate in it.tTlie on' o'rtunity to#parn while learning,increased opportunity I for adva,ncement in the trade, greater earningpower, and job satisfaction are all benefits derived by apprentices. .As a teaching and (earning system basedon cooperation etween labor and management,' .,/ apprenticeship must offer advantages for emPTO3ersak w1. Productive work and.mainte- nance of a supply of highly skilled labor are strong incenb% for management's participation _._ in apprenticeSbip. , ..- . Finally, apprentiCeship benefits society in general. QualitygoOds and products, an ongo- ingsuppiy of qualified workers, produ'ake citizens, and opportunitiesfor ethnic minority .groups and' women are among the ways in which.apprenticeship positi% ely affectslocal communities, states, and the nation. 4... , a On-the-job training has always been the foundationof-apprenticeship, but modern , apprenticeship- programs include another dirtiensiohclassfoOm instruction designed tosup- plement the apprentipe's jobsite learning. This classroom instructionis a vital part of the training program-, because the abundance of information needed by today's skilled craftsper- sons to make decisions and perform the work of their trades cannot be coveredadequately at,, 'the workplace alone. The job - related. courses in all tradesare highly speCialized, and adequate training materials ,are riot always available from commercial publishers. Irk such cases the Department of / Education, at the request of and in cooperation withlabor and managemenCrepresentatives, develops training materials`guch as this worcbook and makes them'vailable at cost. Every o effort is°lie to ensure.. that these materialsAre clear and comprehensive and that they provide ,aprentice's with the mist up-to-date inforrriation possibleon their trade Tilesetti is an old and hotTored profession. -Like all apprenticeshipprograms, the tileseta .ting progra mands hard work,- both on the job and in the classroom Thechalloges that you will face in, the next three years as a tileZc,tting Apprentice will be exactingones. During "' the difficult times, I encourage you to remember file advantagesof apprenticeship cited above. Keep .in mind that your wbrk and study havea purpose-4o help you become an artisan in a highly respected trade and a productive citizen. , Superintendent aPubluNstru(rum lit I0. I The California State Department of Education, throughthe Bure. u of Publications, provides .for the development and production of instructionalmate_ials for California apprentices under provisions of the California Labor StandardsAct. Funding for these activities is provided through a self-perpetuatingaccount established to help serve as many zipprenaceable, trades as possible in the state. The materials,are sold at a price based on the. costs to produce and distribute them, and the proceeds are returnedto the special apprentice- ship account for use in further developmentor revision of, materials. Producing or updating materials involvesa jOint effort, by the Department of Educpion and employer employee gro-ups repregenting a,pprenticeable.trades.The process begins with a request for services from recognized industry representatives,es, usually a state joint wren- ticeship and training committee:Trade representatiN,es andBureau of Publications personnel. review the request to determine (I) the availability ofadequate training materials from cotnmercial publishers or from other states, and (2) the economicfeasibility of thelproposlil. Once the neerfot materials hag been determined,an ad hoc statewide educational advi- sory committee for the industry is formed. This committee, composed of-equal numbers of labor and management representatives, meet's with publicationspersonQe1 to determine the organization of the material, its technicalcontent, and other details. Generally, a journey-level person is selected
