Common use of Application Guidelines Clause in Contracts

Application Guidelines. This factor does not consider the formal Education & Training required to perform a job adequately. However, as both factors (Education & Training and Experience) measure the skills set required to perform a job they are often considered in the context of one another. It is not uncommon to find that if there is a higher degree of formal Education & Training, there may be a lesser time required (Experience) for experiential learning, or the Experience factor would concentrate more on the experiential learning that is more typically obtained through practical experience (i.e. supervisory/management skills, negotiating/public relations/media skills, highly specialized equipment operation requiring experience to hone precision, etc.). Experience acquired though an apprenticeship/internship program would be considered under Experience, if relevant to the overall experience requirements of the job. With regard to the “period of adjustment”, it may be helpful to think in terms of daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly/seasonal/annual cycles of work, as, the more frequently a task is performed, the faster the on-the-job learning is acquired and therefore the period of adjustment would be less.
