Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An apprenticeship is a paid job where the employee learns and gains valuable experiences. Alongside on-the-job training, apprentices spend at least 20% of their working hours completing classroom-based learning with a college, university or training provider which leads to a nationally recognised qualification.

Detailed explanation-2: -An apprentice is a person under such a legal agreement that works for a master craftsman in return for instruction in a specific trade and, formally, support. Many of those who came to the American colonies already knew a trade, such as farming, but could not afford the cost of the journey across the Atlantic.

Detailed explanation-3: -An apprentice is someone who trains for a career by working under the supervision of more experienced workers. Modern apprenticeships follow an established plan of instruction, which includes on-the-job training combined with an educational curriculum.

Detailed explanation-4: -An apprentice was a young person, most often male, who learned a trade by working for a guild master. Apprenticeships often began at age 12, and commonly lasted from two to seven years. Apprentices fre-quently lived at their master’s house and were given room and board, but earned no money.
