Etymology

The word 'apprentice' originated from the Latin word 'apprehendere', which means 'to apprehend, seize'. In the Middle Ages, apprenticeships were a common way for individuals to learn a trade or craft. The system allowed young people to learn from experienced professionals while gaining practical skills. Over time, apprenticeships evolved to include formal agreements and specific training periods. Today, apprenticeships continue to be an important part of vocational training and skill development.
