Master-apprentice model

The master-apprentice model is a traditional way of learning a skill or trade, where an experienced expert (the master) teaches a less experienced individual (the apprentice). The apprentice works closely with the master, gaining hands-on experience, mentorship, and knowledge over time. This relationship emphasizes direct instruction and real-world practice, allowing the apprentice to develop expertise gradually under the master’s guidance. It’s commonly used in crafts, trades, and specialized professions, ensuring the transfer of skills, values, and traditions from one generation to the next through a close mentoring process.
