The council shall formulate standards to safeguard the welfare of apprentices, giving consideration to standards advocated by the bureau of apprenticeship of the United States department of labor, and shall formulate such additional policies as may be necessary to carry out the intent and purposes of the act [50-7-1 to 50-7-4, 50-7-7 NMSA 1978]. The council shall prescribe its own rules of procedure.
History: 1953 Comp., § 59-7-16, enacted by Laws 1957, ch. 219, § 4.
Functions of apprenticeship council. — The primary function of the apprenticeship council is to encourage the development and operation of apprenticeship programs which meet acceptable standards as to quality and content. Council may enter into contracts with the U.S. department of labor under which it would undertake to promote on-the-job training programs in the development and establishment of such training programs, and in providing advisory and technical assistance to businesses which undertake to establish on-the-job training programs and other programs of that nature. 1966 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 66-140.
No authority to operate programs. — This agency only has powers to establish standards and policies concerning the carrying on and encouraging of apprenticeship programs. The council under this statute does not have authority to actually engage in the operation of an apprenticeship program. To the extent that the apprenticeship council intends to enter into contracts with the U.S. department of labor under which it would agree to operate an on-the-job training project itself, such contracts would not be proper. 1966 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 66-140.
