(e) The director or his designee finds that there is no substantial likelihood that the employment offered by the employer to the certified trainee will result in either substantially permanent full-time employment or an upgrading of the certified trainee’s job skills to a level at which reasonably permanent full-time employment may be expected to be available to him in the community. (f) The director or his designee finds that, as to any person or class of persons or employer or class of employers to whom eligible veterans may otherwise be certified as certified trainees, such certification would result in any of the following: (1) Employment involving any condition of wages, hours, conditions of employment, or safety prohibited by law or by a collective bargaining agreement entered into by the employer. (2) A surplus of persons who will be unemployed as a result of such certification. (3) The unlawful employment of minors or the violation of any laws relating to compulsory school attendance.

The director may, pursuant to Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 11371) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of this code, make all necessary and reasonable regulations to prevent any abuses of the reimbursement program established under this chapter and for the administration of this section and Section 7280.8, and may obtain the assistance of any public or private agencies in finding and encouraging suitable employers to offer employment pursuant to this chapter.
