apprenticeship contracts
Novice work pacts
Apprenticeship contracts are formal agreements between an apprentice and an employer or master craftsperson, establishing the terms under which the apprentice will learn a trade or profession.
These contracts typically specify the duration of training, compensation, duties, and skills to be taught.
Historically, apprenticeships bound young people for years—sometimes seven—in exchange for room, board, and instruction.
Modern apprenticeship contracts are regulated employment agreements covering wages, working conditions, and certification requirements: She signed an apprenticeship contract with the electrical union.
