Apprenticeship system

The apprenticeship system is a structured training program where individuals, called apprentices, learn a trade or skill through a combination of on-the-job experience and classroom instruction. Typically sponsored by employers or industry organizations, apprentices work under the guidance of experienced professionals, gaining practical skills while earning a wage. The program usually lasts several years and often leads to a recognized qualification or certification. It’s designed to ensure workers acquire both theoretical knowledge and hands-on expertise, supporting workforce development and helping industries maintain skilled labor forces.
