Learner
Learner means a worker who is being trained for an occupation, which is not customarily recognized as an apprenticeable trade, for which skill, dexterity and judgment must be learned and who, when initially employed produces little or nothing of value. Except in extraordinary circumstances, an employee cannot be considered a learner once he/she has acquired a total of 240 hours of job-related and/or vocational training with the same or other employer or training facility(ies) during the past three years. An individual qualifying as a learner may only be trained in two qualifying occupations.
