The NYS DOL apprenticeship Blue Book is an official logbook that apprentices use to track their on-the-job training hours. Each day, apprentices record the skills they practiced, hours worked, and get a supervisor's signature to verify their progress toward completing the required field training for their trade.
Getting Started
Apprentices may complete either a physical blue book or a digital spreadsheet submitted by email to an administrator.
