    Forum Description

Apprenticeships are typically used in skilled trades and crafts, but they can also be used in a variety of other industries. The purpose of an apprenticeship is to provide workers with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in a particular occupation or trade.

    The apprenticeship model has been around for centuries, dating back to medieval times when skilled tradespeople trained apprentices.

    The apprentice is paid for the work they perform during the apprenticeship. As they gain experience and knowledge, their pay may increase. At the end of the apprenticeship, the apprentice is typically awarded a journeyman certificate or other credential, which certifies that they have achieved a certain level of skill in the trade or occupation.
