This week focuses on understanding your responsibilities within the industry and how NEIEP supports your development. You’ll learn about the role of the Joint Apprenticeship Committee (JAC), how your performance is tracked, and what policies guide your conduct in both the classroom and on the jobsite.

We’ll also cover expectations for professionalism, including safety compliance, punctuality, respectful behavior, and NEIEP’s zero-tolerance policies for harassment, discrimination, and substance use. Understanding the progressive discipline process will help you see how the program ensures fairness while holding apprentices accountable. By the end of this module, you’ll have a clearer picture of what it takes to stay in good standing and work toward eligibility for the Mechanic Examination. If you have questions or need guidance, don’t hesitate to reach out to your Area Coordinator—they’re here to support you.
