Apprenticeship - training in an art, trade, or craft under a legal agreement that defines the duration and conditions of the relationship between master or journey level and apprentice or learner.
Apprenticeship History • “Education for Work”, has its beginnings in about 2000 B.C. (organized apprenticeship) with the Scribes in Egypt. • Rules for governing apprenticeships were included in the Code of Hammurabi, in 2100 B.C.
As the tools became more complex, the knowledge and skills became more specialized. • Parents and family members could no longer teach the next generational everything they needed to become a productive member of society. • Indentureship
Children were apprenticed to a craftsman or artisan who obtained special skills and tools of a particular trade. • In exchange for work, the craftsman would teach and instruct the child in the particulars of the particular trades.
Apprentices usually lived with their craftsman and did not receive pay, as they were learning a skill that was considered highly valuable. • This model of “Domestic Apprentices”, disappeared with the expansion of industry in the Industrial Revolution.
Industrial revolution brought: • Compensation changed by employers to payments of wages. • Wages graduated to a predetermined scale, to journey level or craftsman level.
