prenticeship council or other authority recognized by the federal

to his training; (2) that such work shall be intermittent and for
short periods of time, and under the direct and close supervision
of a qualified and experienced person; (3) that safety instructions
shall be given by the school and correlated by the employer with
on-the-job training; and (4) that a schedule of organized and pro-
gressive work processes to be performed on the job shall have been
prepared. Each such written agreement shall contain the name of
the student-learner, and shall be signed by the employer and the

kept on file by both the school and the employer. This exemption for
