What are carpentry apprentices?

Carpentry apprentices are individuals who are learning the trade of carpentry through a combination of on-the-job training and classroom instruction.

Apprenticeships typically last several years and gradually increase in responsibility and complexity as the apprentice gains experience. Upon completion, apprentices become qualified journeyman carpenters.
