apprenticeship

Form of training where young workers, ‘apprentices’, are taken on by an employer and trained to a given level of competence in a particular trade or profession. Training can be a mixture of on-the-job and off-the-job training.

Apprenticeships began with medieval craft guilds, where for seven years an apprentice lived with a master before becoming a journeyman and employed for a wage.
