Are job trainees temporary hires for each project? Or are they intended to be brought on as long-term employees?

Contractors are only required by SOMAH to hire trainees to work on the project for the required number of work hours based on the system size. However, many contractors will opt to keep the trainee on staff for additional projects or hire the trainee on as a permanent employee.
