7 CCR 1108-1.8 - Policies Related to Reciprocal Approval for Federal purposes by the SAA to Apprentices, Apprenticeship Programs and Standards that are Registered in Other States
A. Reciprocity of
registered apprenticeship programs.

Reciprocity for programs at the request of the sponsor. Colorado may grant
reciprocal approval to a registered apprenticeship program which has been
registered by the Office of Apprenticeship or a recognized SAA for state and
federal purposes if the below criteria are met:
a. Meet Colorado (including lawful local
government) wage, hour, and other labor statutes and rules, and apprentice
ratio standards;
b. The program
sponsor seeking reciprocity must attest that the program and individual
apprentices who will work in Colorado are properly registered with the OA or
SAA; and.
c. If in a licensed
occupation, the standards must prepare the apprentice to meet or exceed the
minimum requirements of CO state or local licensure in that
occupation.
B.
Reciprocity for apprentices and journeyworkers. Colorado may grant reciprocal
approval to active apprentices and grant recognition of completers of
registered apprenticeship in other states.

Reciprocity for completers of a registered apprenticeship. The occupational
certificate of completion is a recognized credential in the state of Colorado
for occupational proficiency. Completers of registered apprenticeship programs
in licensed occupations may require additional licensure requirements in the
occupation.
2. Reciprocity for
active apprentices. Apprentices who have completed some portion of their
registered apprenticeship program in another state are eligible for recognition
in the state of Colorado. Apprentices must coordinate with the sponsor for
transfer into Colorado programs.The Colorado sponsor shall ensure that any/all
credit being awarded results in the apprentice receiving all education and on
the job training in accordance with Colorado licensing laws and/or regulations
for relevant occupations.
