apprenticeships
On-the-job training
Apprenticeships are arrangements where someone learns a trade or skill by working under an experienced practitioner, typically for a set period.
The term covers both formal programs—She completed a four-year apprenticeship in plumbing—and informal training relationships.
Apprenticeships combine hands-on work with instruction, distinguishing them from purely academic education.
