(4) A progressive wage schedule established by the participating employer;

(5) On-site evaluation of the pupil's performance;

(6) Training remediation as necessary at the school site;

(7) A broad range of skills but shall be focused on manufacturing and engineering technology, administration and office technology, and health care;

(8) Development of materials by the business, industry, and labor community in conjunction with the department to promote the awareness of apprenticeships for high school students and encourage recruitment; and

(9) Structural linkage between secondary and postsecondary components of the program leading to the awarding of a high school diploma and postsecondary certification of occupational skills.

The apprenticeship program shall include on-site training only in positions that have been certified by the Department of Labor as highly skilled jobs in business and industry.
