Answer: Answers vary. In an apprenticeship, an adolescent "novice" serves under contract to a "master" who has more experience in a profession and who passes on knowledge of that profession to the adolescent apprentice. Today, apprenticeships are undertaken to prepare for a wide range of professions, from auto mechanics and carpenters to police officers, computer technicians, and child-care workers.
