In many cases the local apprenticeship committees have guidelines in the form of national and/or statewide standards recommended by the advisory organizations. But these are minimums and the local groups usually have complete autonomy in developing and administering their own programs.

The joint apprenticeship committee determines the standards for training of its occupation and supervises the training of apprentices.
