FAQ’s & PROGRAM STRUCTURE How can applicants get into the training program?

Applicant Pool Following the interview evaluation procedure, applicants will be placed on a “Ranking List” according to their evaluation scores, with the applicant having the highest score being at the top of the list, and all applicants then listed in descending order based on score. A separate ranking list will be maintained based on trade and sorted by geographic area. This ranked list is confidential to the Trainer and House Norische, though applicants may be advised of their current rank. As openings for the registration of new apprentices occur, the highest ranked applicant will be notified of selection by telephone. Should two applicants have the same point score, selection will be based on the earlier date of application, followed by time of application. It will be the responsibility of the applicant to keep the Trainer informed of their current mailing address and telephone number. Selected applicants must respond to the notice of selection within 48 hours of notice. If applicants cannot be reached by telephone, their names will be passed and notice sent to them by electronic mail, or massager to determine if the applicants are still interested. If no response is received in fifteen (15) working days from the written notice, the applicant’s name will be removed from the list. Only one notice will be sent. Qualified applicants remaining on a preceding ranking list will automatically be carried forward on the new ranking list and slotted in wherever their rating score placed them for a period of two (2) years, unless the applicant has been removed from the list by their own written request or following a first failure to respond or a second refusal to accept an apprentice opening. Applicants, who were not placed during the two (2) year period that were on the ranking list, will be required to reapply. During the two-year period, applicants who feel that their qualifications have improved since their srcinal rating may submit documented evidence of such additional experience or training and request reevaluation and rating at the next regular processing cycle. An applicant may change positions and be transferred from one area of training to another based on their interview score that can be adjusted as appropriate for any change in information.

Page 7 What can individual do when a potential client comes to him or her looking for a position? Refer any individual interested in training to House Norische. Should these individuals be accepted into the qualified applicant pool, they will be ranked for training in accordance with the above described selection procedures and will be eligible for placement within House Norische.

Does House Norische maintain client and ap plicant pools? Yes. House Norische maintains pools of clients and trainers which individuals may utilize when a need for a client arises. Clients can be obtained through the following methods, which are in the required order of use.

Client Pool The client pool consists of available, House registered apprentices who are eligible for placement with a participating individual. The default method for selection from this pool is free interview. Individuals will have the choice to review client files, conduct an interview, and accept or decline a client. House Norische may pull clients from temporary positions to fill full-time permanent positions that may become available with another participating individual. There is a placement fee charged to individuals selecting client from this pool.

Is House Norische an employment service? No. The apprenticeship and training program is in the business of training and educating clients and employers to develop a stronger, more committed workforce for the future of all parties.

Individuals in need of temporary laborers are encouraged to contact an employment service agency.

General Policies Cancellation The client or House Norische can request a training agreement to be cancelled for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to: academic performance, failure to provide regular work reports, termination from an employer, quitting an employer, refusing work with an House Norische trainer, discipline, or personal situations.

The apprentice has identified training concerns to the Trainer and House Norische; the issues are determined to be irreconcilable, and the apprentice has given a two week notice.

At the request of the client or applicant, House Norische will informally review the complaint pursuant to the complaint procedures outlined in this document.

Fees and Payment House Norische will bill the client for all fees. Individuals interested in training a client on upper level or specialty services will be encouraged to seek reimbursement from the client upon completion of training. Many Individuals have adopted a policy that training is paid for by the Individual or House and reimbursement will not be necessary even if the client has moved on to another Individual or House, so long as they were removed from the position and did not leave the Individual or unduly break the service contract. Finally, Individuals are encouraged to pass the cost of specialty training directly to the client, as this is a specialty course designed to train the client in areas that are not normally viewed as necessary or basic and are not required for the completion of this contract.

Example: The client knew that another client was not following basic safety requirements maintained for the completion of a task and failed to report this action. Participating in any illegal act as specified by local, county, state or federal laws. Breaking the confidentiality clause within this contract. Blatant disrespect and/or disregard for House regulations, including (but not limited too) repeated offences of basic house rules, blatant or repetitive disrespect toward Trainers, staff, Individuals, guests, or other clients, repetitive sexual misconduct, or the use of abusive, inappropriate, or vulgar language. The inability to maintain academic proficiently, if the client fails to complete assigned tasks, fails to complete tests with at least a score or 70%, or fails to apply him or herself to the training for an extended period of time. While these examples are just that, examples, they are indeed actions that may lead to the termination of a training contract and the dismissal of an individual from an assigned position. Each offence is reviewed by the House on a case-by-case basis, and the decision to terminate a contract is final. If a contract is terminated the client must wait one year and one day, to reapply to the House for retraining. If an individual is accepted for re-entry he or she will start from the beginning, with no regards to previous training. The client will not be given the option to opt out of any area of the training and will be placed on probation for a minimum of 3 months for evaluation.
