FOREWORD These National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF) apprenticeship standards have as their objective the training of

Restaurant Manager (O*NET-SOC CODE: 11-9051.00, RAPIDS CODE: 0593 )

skilled in all phases of the industry. The NRAEF recognizes that in order to accomplish this, there must be well-developed on-the-job learning combined with related instruction.

This recognition has resulted in the development of these standards of apprenticeship. They were developed in accordance with the basic standards recommended by the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Apprenticeship, as a basis from which the restaurant and foodservice industry can work to establish an apprenticeship training program that meets the particular needs of the industry.

DEFINITIONSAPPRENTICE: Any individual employed by the employer meeting the qualifications described in the standards of apprenticeship who has signed an apprenticeship agreement with the local employer providing for training and related instruction under these standards and who registers with theRegistration Agency.

APPRENTICE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION (AER): An electronic tool that allows for instantaneous transmission of apprentice data for more efficient registration of apprentices and provides program sponsors with a faster turnaround on their submissions and access to their apprenticeship program data.

APPRENTICESHIP AGREEMENT: The written agreement between the apprentice and the employer setting forth the responsibilities and obligations of all parties to the apprenticeship agreement with respect to the apprentice's employment and training under these standards. Each apprenticeship agreement must be registered with the Registration Agency.

APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING COMMITTEE (OPTIONAL): Those persons designated by the NRAEF to act as advisors in NRAEF's administration of the program.

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION OF APPRENTICESHIP: The credential issued by the Registration Agency to those registered apprentices certified and documented as having successfully completed the apprentice training requirements outlined in these standards of apprenticeship.

COMPETENCY-BASED OCCUPATION: An occupation using an apprenticeship approach that requires the attainment of manual, mechanical, or technical skills and knowledge, as specified by an occupation standard and demonstrated by an appropriate written and hands-on proficiency measurement.

ELECTRONIC MEDIA: Media that utilize electronics or electromechanical energy for the end user (audience) to access the content. Includes, but is not limited to, electronic storage media, transmission media, the Internet, extra nets, lease lines, dial-up lines, private networks, and the physical movement of removable/transportable electronic media and/or interactive distance learning.

EMPLOYER: Any person or organization employing an apprentice, whether or not such person or organization is a party to an apprenticeship agreement with the apprentice. A person, business, or company signatory to these NRAEF's standards that is responsible for providing hours of work, supervision, wages, and/or benefits to apprentices in its employ as registered under these standards.

JOB CORPS CENTER: Any of the federally funded Job Corps centers throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Job Corps serves youths and young adults 16-24 years of age. Employers that wish to hire Job Corps graduates who are trained in any occupation covered under these standards and who meet the minimum qualifications for apprenticeship may do so via the direct entry provision described inAppendix D: Qualifications and selection Procedures.

RESTAURANT MANAGER: An employee who has attained a level of skills, abilities, and competencies recognized within an industry as mastery of the skills and competencies required for the occupation. The term may also refer to a supervisor who has documented sufficient skills and knowledge of an occupation, either through formal apprenticeship or through practical on-the-job experience and formal training.

O*NET-SOC CODE: The Occupational Information Network (O*NET) codes and titles are based on the new Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system mandated by the federal Office of Management and Budget for use in collecting statistical information on occupations. The O*NET classification uses an8-digit O*NET-SOC code. Use of the SOC classification as a basis for the O*NET codes ensures that O*NET information can be readily linked to labor market information such as occupational employment and wage data at the national, state, and local levels.

ON-THE-JOB LEARNING (OJL): Tasks learned on-the-job in which the apprentice must become proficient before a completion certificate is awarded. The learning must be through structured, supervised work experience.

PROVISIONAL REGISTRATION: The 1-year initial provisional approval of newly registered programs that meet the required standards for program registration, after which program approval may be made permanent, continued as provisional, or rescinded following a review by the Registration Agency, as provided for in 29 CFR §§ 29.3(g) and (h).

REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIP PARTNERS INFORMATION DATA SYSTEM (RAPIDS): Utilizing AER, RAPIDS is a federal system that provides for the automated collection, retention, updating, retrieval, and summarization of information related to apprentices and apprenticeship programs.

REGISTRATION AGENCY: The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Apprenticeship or a recognized State Apprenticeship Agency that has responsibility for registering apprenticeship programs and apprentices, providing technical assistance, conducting reviews for compliance with 29 CFR §§29 and 30, and conducting quality assurance assessments.

RELATED TRAINING INSTRUCTION (RTI): An organized and systematic form of instruction designed to provide the apprentice with knowledge of the theoretical and technical subjects related to the apprentice's occupation. Such instruction may be given in a classroom, through occupational or industrial courses, or by correspondence courses of equivalent value, electronic media, or other forms of self-study approved by the NRAEF.

SPONSOR: In this program, the NRAEF. The association/association educational foundation that operates an apprenticeship program and in whose name the program is registered. That assumes the full responsibility for administration and operation of the apprenticeship program.

STANDARDS OF APPRENTICESHIP: This entire document, including all appendices and attachments hereto, and any future modifications and additions approved by the Registration Agency.

SUPERVISOR OF APPRENTICE(S): An individual designated by the employer to supervise or have charge and direction of an apprentice.

TRANSFER: A shift of apprenticeship registration from one program to another or from one employer within a program to another employer within that same program, where there is agreement between the apprentice and the affected apprenticeship committees or sponsors.

SECTION II - EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PLEDGE - 29 CFR §§ 29.S(b)(21) and 30.3(b) The recruitment, selection, employment, and training of apprentices during their apprenticeship shall be without discrimination because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, sexual orientation, genetic information or disability. The employer will take affirmative action to provide equal opportunity in apprenticeship and will operate the apprenticeship program as required under 29 CFR § 30.

SECTION III - AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN AND SELECTION PROCEDURES - 29 CFR §§ 29.S(b)(21), 30.4, and 30.5 As the national program sponsor, NRAEF will aggregate affirmative action apprenticeship participant outcomes. In compliance with their current EEO plans and federal law, employers with 5 or more registered apprentices are required to adopt an affirmative action plan {Appendix C) and selection procedures {Appendix D), which will become part of these standards of apprenticeship. Copies of employer EEO policies and selection procedures will be submitted to NRAEF and kept on file. The Office of Apprenticeship encourages the development of these two plans for all programs regardless of the number of apprentices hired by an employer. However,

for programs with fewer than 5 apprentices, these plans are not required, and the employer may continue to select apprentices in conformance with its current compliant human resources and equal employment opportunity hiring policies.

SECTION IV - QUALIFICATIONS FOR APPRENTICESHIP - 29 CFR § 29.S(b)(lO) Applicants will meet the following minimum qualifications.

A. AgeMinimum qualifications required by the sponsor for persons entering the apprenticeship program, with an eligible starting age not less than 18 years.

Per employer policy applicants may be screened for illegal drugs prior to being employed and/or accepted into the apprentice program. Such drug screens will be handled in accordance with applicable state and local law.

SECTION V - APPRENTICESHIP AGREEMENT- 29 CFR §§ 29.3(d), 29.3(e), and 29.S(b)(ll) After an applicant for apprenticeship has been selected, but before employment as an apprentice or enrollment in related instruction, the apprentice will be covered by a written apprenticeship agreement {Appendix B) which can be submitted electronically through the Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Data System, using the Apprentice Electronic Registration process by NRAEF and the apprentice and approved by and registered with the Registration Agency. Such agreement will contain a statement making the terms and conditions of these standards a part of the agreement as though expressly written therein. NRAEF shall provide a copy of the apprenticeship agreement to the apprentice, the Registration Agency, and the employer. An additional copy will be provided to the veteran's state approving agency by the NRAEF for those veteran apprentices desiring access to any benefits to which they are entitled.

Each selected applicant will be given an opportunity to read and review these standards, the employers' written rules and policies, and the apprenticeship agreement. The Registration Agency will be advised within 45 days of the execution of each apprenticeship agreement and will be given all the information required for registering the apprentice.

SECTION VI - SUPERVISION OF APPRENTICES AND RATIOS -29 CFR § 29.S(b)(14) and 29 CFR § 29.S(b)(7)

No apprentice shall work without proper or adequate supervision.

For the purpose of these apprenticeship standards, adequate or proper supervision of the apprentice means the apprentice Is under the supervision of a fully qualified restaurant manager or supervisor at all times who is responsible for making work assignments, providing On the Job Learning, and ensuring safety at the worksite.

To adequately or properly supervise an apprentice does not mean the apprentice must be within eyesight or reach of the manager or supervisor, but that the manager or supervisor knows what the apprentice is working on; is readily available to the apprentice; and is making sure the apprentice has the necessary instruction and guidance to perform tasks safely, correctly, efficiently, and is on track to meet the learning objectives outlined in Appendix A.

NRAEF shall establish a numeric ratio of apprentices to fully proficient workers {restaurant managers) consistent with proper supervision, training, safety, and continuity of employment throughout the apprenticeship. The ratio language must be specific and clearly described as to its application to the jobsite, workforce, department, or plant. The ratio of apprentices to fully proficient workers {restaurant managers) will be the number of apprentices to the number of restaurant managers, as noted in Appendix A.

Occupation Title Number of Apprentices

During the probationary period, either the apprentice or the employer may terminate the apprenticeship agreement, without stated cause, by notifying the other party in writing. The records for each probationary apprentice will be reviewed prior to the end of the probationary period by the employer. The supervisor/mentor will conduct a meeting with the apprentice to determine if the apprentice has successfully completed the probationary period. The employer must notify NRAEF if the apprentice did not successfully complete the probationary period. Records may consist of periodic reports regarding progression made in both the OJL and related instruction, and any disciplinary action taken during the probationary period.

Any probationary apprentice evaluated as satisfactory after a review of the probationary period will be given full credit for the probationary period and continue in the program.

After the probationary period, the apprenticeship agreement may be cancelled at the request of the apprentice or may be suspended or cancelled by the employer for reasonable cause after documented due notice to the apprentice and a reasonable opportunity for corrective action. In such cases, the employer will provide written notice to the apprentice and to the NRAEF. The NRAEF will provide written notice to the Registration Agency of the final action taken.

SECTION IX - HOURS OF WORK Apprentices will generally work the same hours as fully proficient workers (restaurant managers),except that no apprentice will be allowed to work overtime if it interferes with attendance in related instruction classes. Apprentices who do not complete the required hours of OJL during a given segment will have the term of that segment extended until they have accrued the required number of hours of training.

SECTION X - APPRENTICE WAGE PROGRESSION - 29 CFR § 29.S(b)(S) Apprentices will be paid a progressively increasing schedule of wages and fringe benefits during their apprenticeship based on the acquisition of increased skill and competence on the job and in related instruction. Before an apprentice is advanced to the next segment of training or to fully proficient or restaurant manager status, the employer will evaluate all progress to determine whether advancement has been earned by satisfactory performance in On the Job Learning and in related instruction courses. In determining whether satisfactory progress has been made, the employer will be guided by the work experience and related instruction records and reports.

The progressive wage schedule will be an increasing percentage of the fully proficient or restaurant manager wage rate. The percentages that will be applied to the applicable fully proficient or restaurant manager rate are shown on the attached Work Process Schedule and Related Instruction Outline (Appendix A). In no case will the starting wages of apprentices be less than that required by any minimum wage law that may be applicable.

SECTION XI - CREDIT FOR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE - 29 CFR §§ 29.S(b)(12) and 30.4(c)(8)

The employer may grant credit toward the term of apprenticeship to new apprentices. Credit will be based on demonstration of previous skills or knowledge equivalent to those identified in these standards.

To seek credit, the employee must submit the request at the time of application and furnish such records, affidavits, and other documented experience and/or Industry credentials, and/or college transcript to substantiate the claim. An applicant who is a veteran and who wishes to receive consideration for military training and/or experience must submit a DD-214.

An apprentice granted credit will be advanced to the wage rate designated for the period to which such credit accrues. The Registration Agency will be advised of any credit granted and the wage rate to which the apprentice is advanced. The granting of advanced standing will be uniformly applied to all apprentices.

SECTION XII - WORK EXPERIENCE - 29 CFR § 29.5(b)(3) During the apprenticeship, the apprentice will receive On the Job Learning and related instruction in all phases of the occupation necessary to develop the skill and proficiency of a skilled restaurant manager.

A minimum of 112.5 hours of related instruction is recommended for each year of the apprenticeship. Employers may include an additional 10 hours of related instruction per year. Apprentices agree to take such courses as the employer deems advisable. The employer will secure the instructional aids and equipment it deems necessary to provide quality instruction. In cities, towns, or areas having no vocational schools or other schools that can furnish related instruction, the employer may require apprentices to complete the related instruction requirement through electronic media or other instruction approved by the NRAEF. Graduates of community colleges and universities with majors in hospitality will be deemed to have fulfilled the related instruction requirements of this program. However, completion of related training instruction will not preclude an apprentice from taking mandated employer training.

Apprentices will or will not be paid for hours spent attending related instruction classes as below.

Occupation Title Wages PaidRestaurant Manager No

The NRAEF will inform each apprentice of the availability of college credit (if applicable).

Any apprentice who is absent from related instruction will satisfactorily complete all coursework missed before being advanced to the next level of training. In cases of failure of an apprentice to fulfill the obligations regarding related instruction without due cause, the employer will take appropriate disciplinary action and may terminate the apprenticeship agreement after due notice to the apprentice and opportunity for corrective action. The employer needs to inform the NRAEF of any action taken. To the extent possible, related instruction will be closely correlated with the practical experience and training received on the job. The employer will monitor and document the apprentice's progress in related instruction classes and be prepared to submit progress reports as part of their quarterly report to NRAEF. See attached quarterly report.
