Hawaii Administrative Rules › Title 12 - DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS › Chapter 31 - A STATE PLAN FOR EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY IN APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS › Section 12-31-7 - Selection on basis of rank from pool of eligible applicants

Current
			 through June, 2024
(a) A
			 sponsor may select apprentices from a pool of eligible applicants created in
			 accordance with the requirements of subsection (e) on the basis of the rank
			 order of scores of applicants on one or more qualification standards where
			 there is a significant statistical relationship between the rank order of
			 scores and performance in the apprenticeship program. In demonstrating such
			 relationship, the sponsor shall follow the procedures set forth in guidelines
			 on employee selection procedures published in title 41, CFR, part
			 60-3.
(b) The sponsor adopting this
			 method of selecting apprentices shall meet the requirements of subsections (c)
			 through (g).
(c) A pool of
			 eligibles shall be created from applicants who meet the qualifications of
			 minimum legal working age; or from applicants who meet qualification standards
			 in addition to minimum legal working age; provided that any additional
			 qualification standards conform with the following requirements:
(1) The qualification standards, and the
			 procedures for determining such qualification standards, shall be stated in
			 detail and shall provide criteria for the specific factors and attributes to be
			 considered in evaluating applicants for admission to the pool. The score
			 required under each qualification standard for admission to the pool shall also
			 be specified. All qualification standards, and the score required on any
			 standard for admission to the pool, shall be directly related to job
			 performance, as shown by a significant statistical relationship between the
			 score required for admission to the pool, and performance in the apprenticeship
			 program. In demonstrating such relationship, the sponsor shall follow the
			 procedures set forth in title 41, CFR, part 60-3 . Qualifications shall be
			 considered as separately required so that the failure of an applicant to attain
			 the specified score under a single qualification standard shall disqualify the
			 applicant from admission to the pool;
(2) Any qualification standard for admission
			 to the pool consisting of aptitude test scores shall be directly related to job
			 performance., as shown by significant statistical relationships between the
			 score on the aptitude tests required for admission to the pool and performance
			 in the apprenticeship program. In determining such relationship, the sponsor
			 shall follow the procedures set forth in title 41, CFR, part 60-3 . The
			 requirements of this paragraph shall also be applicable to aptitude tests
			 utilized by a program sponsor which are administered by the state employment
			 service, or any other person, agency, or organization engaged in the selection
			 or evaluation of personnel. A national test developed and administered by a
			 national joint apprenticeship committee shall not be approved by the department
			 unless such test meets the requirements of this paragraph;
(3) All educational attainments or
			 achievements as qualifications for admission to the pool shall be directly
			 related to job performance as shown by a significant statistical relationship
			 between the score required for admission to the pool and performance in the
			 apprenticeship program. In demonstrating such relationship, the sponsor shall
			 meet the requirements of title 41, CFR, part 60-3 . School records or a passing
			 grade on the general education development tests recognized by the state board
			 of education or University of Hawaii shall be evidence of educational
			 achievement. Education requirements shall be applied uniformly to all
			 applicants.
