The Council establishes a list of apprenticeable trades or occupa-

committees where such committees are needed and approves their
duties. It formulates policies for the overall apprenticeship program,
and registers the standards of apprenticeship of such persons as elect
to conform to the standards of apprenticeship. The Council further
issues certificates of Completion of Apprenticeship to those apprentices
registered with the Council. It seeks all information about apprentice-
ship training in the State, and keeps a record of all local apprentice-
ship committees, and certifies the registration of apprentices to other
agencies upon request. The Council encourages the recognition of the
value of the registered Apprenticeship Training and prescribes its
own rules of procedure (Code 1957, 1962 Supp., Art. 77, secs. 320-324).
