What is a drafting trainee?

Drafting trainees are entry-level professionals who learn to create technical drawings and plans used in construction, manufacturing, and engineering. They work under the supervision of experienced drafters or engineers, gaining hands-on experience with computer-aided design (CAD) software and understanding industry standards. Their responsibilities include preparing detailed drawings, making revisions, and assisting with project documentation. This role provides foundational skills that can lead to more advanced drafting or design positions.
