Apprentice 2
Apprentice 2 : One, who in the process of learning a craft, is attached (bound or contracted) to another who is skilled at that craft. This attachment or apprenticeship is usually for a stated number of years. Apprenticeship, though a good method to effect the transfer of skills, can sometimes be a method by the 'master craftsman' to control the entry of persons into the profession. As such, governments in their vocational training programmes have paid special attention to the vulnerable position of apprentices. Indeed, the institutionalization of vocational training within the formal education system is a way of ensuring that apprentices are not left solely to master craftsmen. The idea of formalized vocational training and other systems for apprentices is very much encouraged by the ILO
