apprentice
Novice under tutelage
An apprentice is a person, usually young, in a program that enables him or her to learn a trade.
Before another noun, apprentice indicates a tradesperson who is still in training (apprentice electrician).
To apprentice someone (or yourself) is to enter a program of such training.
When capitalized as The Apprentice, the phrase refers to a global reality TV franchise in which contestants are eliminated one by one as they fail to impress a boss.
