apprentices

Trainees under masters

Apprentices are people learning a trade or craft under the guidance of a skilled practitioner.

The arrangement typically involves hands-on training in exchange for labor: The master craftsman took on two apprentices.

Figuratively, anyone new to a field learning from experienced practitioners: We were all apprentices once.
