EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYMENT PLEDGE

Our Pledge To You

The Southeast Iowa Electrical Apprenticeship Program will not discriminate against apprenticeship applicants or apprentices based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including pregnancy and gender identify), sexual orientation, genetic information, or because they are an individual with a disability or a person 40 years old or older.  The Southeast Iowa Electrical Apprenticeship Program will take affirmative action to provide equal opportunity in apprenticeship and will operate the apprenticeship program as required under Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 30.

YOUR RIGHT TO EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

It is against the law for a sponsor of an apprenticeship program registered for Federal purposes to discriminate against an apprenticeship applicant or apprentice based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including pregnancy or gender identity), sexual orientation, age (40 years or older), genetic information or disability.  The sponsor must ensure equal opportunity with regard to all terms, conditions, and privileges associated with apprenticeship.
