Contractors, as defined in California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 228, includes general, prime, specialty, or subcontractor.

A contractor on a public works project must employ one (1) hour of apprentice work for every five (5) hours performed by a journeyman.

All contractors must register for dispatch of an apprentice from an apprenticeship program (for each apprenticeable craft or trade) by giving the program actual notice of at least 48 hours (business days only) before the date on which apprentices are required. If in response to a written request an Apprenticeship Committee does not dispatch any apprentice to a contractor who has agreed to employ and train apprentices within 72 hours of such request (business days only), the contractor shall not be considered in violation of failure to employ apprentices for the remainder of the project.

Contractors who are not already participating in an approved program and who did not receive sufficient number of apprentices from their initial request must request dispatch of apprentices from at least one other apprentice committee, if more than one exists in the area of the public works project."
