    Whereas the Toledo Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (hereinafter "JATC") is a nonprofit, charitable organization exempt from taxation under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and
    Whereas, JATC offers training to apprentice and journeyperson electricians, and
    Whereas, JATC wishes to set forth nondiscriminatory standards and criteria to qualify for such training and any available grants-in-aid; and
    Now, therefore, the Trustees of JATC hereby adopt and approve the following guidelines for journeyperson education and grants-in-aid.
    1. A journeyperson is eligible to enroll in a JATC training course only if: (a) the individual completes an application for the training course at JATC, (b) the course covers a subject within the scope of the individual's work, (c) the individual is a member in good standing and is not in conflict with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local No. 8 (hereinafter "Local 8") as of the date of application and the immediately preceding 36 month period, (d) during that 36 month period, the individual worked at least 1,500 hours in Local 8's jurisdiction for a signatory employer making contributions to JATC pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement, and (e) the individual is, at the time of application, working or actively seeking work within the territorial jurisdiction of Local 8.
    2. The Trustees of JATC retain the discretion to waive any of the above criteria as they see fit, provided such discretion is exercised in a nondiscriminatory manner.  The Trustees also reserve the right to charge tuition for any or all of its training courses as they determine from time to time.
    3. An individual who meets the criteria listed above but fails to attend the journeyperson training course for which he/she is registered shall be ineligible to attend any further courses at JATC for one year.  Provided, however, an individual may appeal his/her ineligibility under this Section 3 by filing a written statement to the Training Director explaining the reasons for his/her absence.  The Training Director shall have the sole discretion to approve or deny such an appeal, and the Director's determination shall be final and conclusive.
    4. Any individual who attends a journeyperson training course is expected to be attentive, respectful, and refrain from engaging in conduct which may be detrimental to the JATC.  Any journeyperson who causes disruption, engages in inappropriate or disrespectful behavior, or otherwise fails to follow JATC rules or policies, shall be subject to removal from the training course, loss of any associated grant-in-aid, and/or be deemed ineligible to attend any further courses at JATC for one year.  Any journeyperson who engages in illegal or dangerous conduct may be deemed ineligible to attend any further courses at JATC permanently or for an indefinite period of time.  Any an individual may appeal his/her ineligibility under this Section 4 by filing a written statement to the Training Director setting forth the facts and circumstances surrounding the alleged misconduct.  The Training Director shall have the sole discretion to approve or deny such an appeal, and the Director's determination shall be final and conclusive.
    5. Journeypersons who complete a training course at JATC may be eligible to take the same course in the future, subject to the sole discretion of the Training Director and under such conditions as the Training Director may reasonably impose.

    7. No apprentice is eligible to receive a grant-in-aid.
    8. Any and all grants-in-aid offered by JATC are made available at the sole discretion of JATC, which shall be exercised in a non-discriminatory manner.  The amount of each grant-in-aid shall be determined by JATC.  There is no guarantee that any such grants-in-aid will be available at any particular time or for any particular course.  JATC retains the authority to discontinue the grants-in-aid program at any time.
    9. Grants-in-aid offered by JATC may be revoked if the recipient journeyperson fails to attend at least 75% of the course sessions.
