Downloadable Apprentice Evaluation Form
This is the downloadable form that apprentices can download and provide to their supervisors.
This is a downloadable PDF with the directions for filling out the monthly evaluation form.
Instructions for Monthly Evaluation
The new monthly evaluation form is two-sided. Page 1 is the Supervisor Evaluation Form and has just a few changes. The top part of Page 1 asks for your name, the month and year you are reporting, the contractor, and the jobsite location. Complete this section before giving it to your supervisor.
The bottom part of Page 1 is the Supervisor Evaluation and is to be completed and signed by your direct supervisor (or another person designated by your employer), along with his/her phone number and the date.
The purpose of Page 2 of the form is for recording your daily hours by job category. We are required to track your job hours according to the work processes (OJT) spelled out in our Apprenticeship Standards. Since we have new work processes in our Standards, Page 2 of the Monthly Evaluation Form has changed to reflect this. If you take the time to read the form, the information we are asking for is self-explanatory. The instructions below should clarify any questions you have. Keep it simple, record your hours every day (No more descriptions!), refer to these instructions or call the Training Center if you have any questions.
The upper left of Page 2 asks for your name and contact information. Please note if any of your information has changed by checking the New Contact Information box. Sign and date the form before submitting it to us.
The lower part of Page 2 is where you record your daily work hours. The left column of this section is Skill Category and describes each of the categories for recording your hours. It is up to you to choose the proper category for recording your hours based on the type of job you are on.
Core Skills are hours that you could do on any job and you need 2000 core hours with combined 2000 Specific Skill hours to complete the program.
Specific skill categories are based on the type of job you are on. Categories are: Building; Heavy/ Highway and Utility; Concrete; Masonry; Demolition and Deconstruction; Pipeline; Tunneling; Environmental Remediation; and Landscaping. A brief description of each category with examples of work follows these instructions. You need a total of 2000 hours, in one or multiple categories (along with 2000 hours of Core Skills) to satisfy the OJT requirements of the program.
The next column is HRS (hours) Brought Forward. This category is for previously recorded hours. To ease the transition to the new form, we have used hours that you have already submitted. Each month, you will take hours brought forward, add total monthly hours to it, and enter that number in the total hours to date column. Total hours to date are the hours brought forward for the next month’s report.
The next group of columns is for entering the hours you worked each day. Daily hours are entered by the date of the month. Think of it as a monthly calendar, the numbers 1-31 coincide with the dates of the month that you worked and hours are to be recorded for each day. We have included a sample form.
