An apprenticeship agreement is essential because it establishes the particular working conditions between the trainee and the employer.
The apprenticeship agreement must also include a description of the skill, trade, or profession being taught to the apprentice via the qualified apprenticeship framework.
It is specific to apprenticeships; a standard employment contract will not suffice for an apprentice.
The apprentice and the employer must sign the agreement at the start of every apprenticeship to create work arrangements between both parties.
