Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 10202 — Statement of Public Policy., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 10202. Statement of Public Policy.
(a) Skilled manpower constitutes a great resource on Guam.
Registered apprenticeship programs, through supervised training
and education, develop skilled journeyworkers and help meet the
increasing needs for such workers in the traditional labor force.
The continuing development of skilled manpower is essential for
individual self-realization and for an expanding industrial
economy. This Act recognizes that all citizens of Guam,
regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, or gender, are a
potential aspect of a reliable workforce. Moreover, an individual’s
physical and/or behavioral health challenge shall not prevent him
or her from participating in programs authorized through this
Chapter, as every attempt shall be made by the Guam Department
of Labor to ensure that apprenticeship programs are supportive of
Title 17 GCA § 41210, relative to the employment of individuals
with severe disabilities. To these ends, it is the declared public
policy of Guam to develop sound apprenticeship training
standards and to encourage industry and labor to institute training
programs allowing all citizens of Guam the opportunity to work
and earn a responsible wage to support themselves and their
families.
(b) This Chapter shall apply to a person, firm, corporation, or
craft only after such person, firm, corporation, or craft has
voluntarily elected to conform with its provisions, for the purpose
of participating in registered apprenticeship programs.
