Who is an "apprentice"?

An apprentice is a person who is learning a trade, craft, or skill from a experienced professional.

During their training, apprentices perform tasks and gradually take on more complex responsibilities as they develop their skills. This period of learning usually combines practical work with classroom instruction, preparing the apprentice to become skilled in their trade and eventually work independently.
