In labour laws, an apprentice is typically defined as someone who is learning a trade, craft, or profession under the guidance of a skilled worker or employer.
Many regions have specific legislation outlining the rights and obligations of both apprentices and employers regarding training, wages, working conditions, and the duration of apprenticeships.
Certain industries or trades may have their own regulations governing apprenticeships, which could include requirements for certification, minimum training hours, and qualifications for trainers.
