Sec. 345.81  Pre-industrial training.

    FPI encourages the development and use of pre-industrial training 
programs. Such training ordinarily provides benefits to the inmate and 
to the FPI factory. Pre-industrial training also provides an additional 
management tool for replacing inmate idleness with constructive 
activity. Accordingly, each FPI factory location may provide a pre-
industrial training program.
    (a) Pre-industrial program trainees shall ordinarily begin at the 
entry level pay grade (grade 5). Positions for pre-industrial training 
programs are filled in the same manner as other grade five positions.
    (b) Pre-industrial training is not a prerequisite for work placement 
if the inmate already possesses the needed skill.
    (c) If pre-industrial training is available and the worker has not 
completed both the skill training and orientation phases of pre-
industrial training, the

inmate should be put into the first available training class.
    (d) When pre-industrial training is not available, new FPI assignees 
will receive on-the-job training in pre-industrial pay status for a 
period of at least 30 days before being promoted into available fourth 
grade jobs.
