Process of apprenticeships

• Decide which trade you would like to enter.• Find a master of that trade and convince him to apprentice

you.• No pay is required because you learn the trade in return for

producing goods for your master.• Work for a minimum of about 2 and a half years to earn the

title of journeyman.• Start your own business in that trade,and eventually have your own apprentices.

Master requirements

• Have a skilled education in his trade.• Has to be able to provide an adequate education in

his trade for his apprentice.• Has to be able to provide sleeping quarters as well as

food and water for the apprentice.

Differences in Apprenticeships

• Some apprentices sleep in the shop or in the house of the master.

• Some apprentices sleep in the home depending on where the shop is located in reference to where the apprentices house is.

• Some apprentices will work so far away from home they cannon see their family for the inconvenience and expense of traveling.
