1. apprentice

   Apprenticeship is a system for training a new generation of practitioners of a trade or profession with on-the-job training and often some accompanying study (classroom work and reading). Apprenticeships can also enable practitioners to gain a license to practice in a regulated occupation. Most of their training is done while working for an employer who helps the apprentices learn their trade or profession, in exchange for their continued labor for an agreed period after they have achieved measurable competencies. Apprenticeship lengths vary significantly across sectors, professions, roles and cultures. In some cases, people who successfully complete an apprenticeship can reach the "journeyman" or professional certification level of competence. In other cases, they can be offered a permanent job at the company that provided the placement. Although the formal boundaries and terminology of the apprentice/journeyman/master system often do not extend outside guilds and trade unions, the concept of on-the-job training leading to competence over a period of years is found in any field of skilled labor.

Examples of apprentice in a Sentence

1. Avik Roy:

   I would be very surprised in a three-man race if Cruz didn't make a substantive policy critique of John Kasich -- if he felt it was necessary, it's this classic reality show like 'Survivor,' maybe even 'The Apprentice.' There's a strategy that some contestants use where they try to keep their heads down and stay out of the controversy with all contestants. Then they wake up at the end in there in the last two or three.

2. Jeb Bush:

   Across the spectrum of foreign policy, Mr. Trump talks about things that -- as though he's still on 'The Apprentice,' talking about Syria - saying ISIS should take out (Syrian President Bashar al-Assad), then Russia should take out ISIS, as though it was some kind of board game and not a serious approach.

3. Andrew Gillum:

   So, no, Jake Tapper's not. Donald Trump is weak. And Donald Trump performs as all weak people do, they become bullies. And Ron DeSantis is Ron DeSantis acolyte. Ron DeSantis's trying out to be the Trump apprentice.

4. Laxman Narasimhan:

   Squawk Box's a unique opportunity for me to apprentice very close to an iconic founder.

5. Jeb Bush:

   He's not taking the responsibility, the possibility of being president of the United States really seriously. For him, it looks as though he's an actor playing a role of the candidate for president. Not boning up on the issues, not having a broad sense of the responsibilities of what it is to be a president, across the spectrum of foreign policy, Mr. Trump talks about things as though he's still on 'The Apprentice.'.
