See Louisiana Revised Statutes 23:386
  • Obligation: An order placed, contract awarded, service received, or similar transaction during a given period that will require payments during the same or a future period.

For the purpose of providing greater diversity of training or continuity of employment, any apprenticeship agreement made under this Chapter may be signed by a joint or non-joint committee instead of by an individual employer. In such a case, apprenticeship program standards shall expressly provide that the  apprenticeship committee does not assume the obligation of an employer but agrees to use its best endeavors to procure employment and training for the apprentice with one or more employers who will accept full responsibility for all the terms and conditions of employment and training set forth in the agreement between the apprentice and the apprenticeship committee during the period of each employment.
