(2)  determine the details and nature of such an action or activity;

(3)  determine the conditions to be met and the qualifications and aptitudes required to act as a supervising journeyworker, tutor, coach or apprenticeship supervisor or to otherwise supervise an apprentice as a part of such strategies;

(4)  determine the conditions for employer participation;

(5)  determine the requirements for recognition of the skills acquired or mastered; and

(6)  determine any other measure considered necessary to implement the strategies or facilitate their application.
