We have referenced the United States Department of <br />Labor's Office of Apprenticeship guidelines in the past and for this project; there is currently not an <br />applicable labor category that is consistent with the type of scope of work we conduct in the field. <br />Specifically, for the specialized construction and technology utilized to perform CIPP and Spin Cast Lining. <br />On a regular basis wedodiscuss with this void with U.S. Department ofLabor representatives with regard <br />tospecific apprenticeship programs affiliated with DOL. From their feedback, apparently there seems to <br />benospecific category orprogram. <br />|naddition tucommunicating with the DOLweare affiliated urare active members toavariety of <br />industry trade organizations such as NUCA (National Utility Contractors Association), NASSCO (National <br />Association of Sewer Service Companies), ABC (Association of Building Contractors), and AGC (Association <br />of General Contractors) all of which do not have an apprenticeship programs applicable to our work or <br />specific to the trenchless pipe industry that we service or the type of specialized construction services we <br />provide atthis time. <br />From speaking recently with the U�.Department ofLabor, the closest category would befor operators <br />(excavation equipment operators) and pipe fitter (such as natural gas) which are not involved in lining <br />operations. It was upon recognizing this absence of training within our specialized industry, that we <br />began formulating a training program of our own, which has been submitted to you previously.
