trainee
New hire learning
A trainee is someone receiving training for a job or skill.
The word emphasizes the learning stage—a trainee doctor, trainee pilot, or management trainee is not yet qualified to work independently.
The company hired six trainees for the summer program.
Trainee often appears as a modifier: trainee wages, trainee position.
