What's an Apprentice?
As everyone knows, opportunities in the skilled trades are set to explode in the next five to ten years.
Many skilled trades train workers through apprenticeships - new workers spend up to 80% of their days
learning on the job, and only 20% in the classroom. This is accomplished through being paired with an
expert in the trade who will guide the apprentice through their learning process.
Many countries have developed special ””pre-apprenticeship”” secondary school programs. If you are in
high school, by participating in these programs you can learn job skills and earn credits towards your
apprenticeship before you even graduate. Apprenticeships range from auto mechanics to cabinetmaking,
construction, and pastry making
153. What is an apprentice according to this
article?
(a) Anyone who spends 20% of his or her time
inside a classroom
(b) An expert in a skilled trade who spends 80%

of his or her time on the job
(c) Any high school student who is learning job
skills
(d) A new worker matched with an expert to
learn a skilled trade
154. How can high school students earn credits
towards their apprenticeships?
(a) By making matches with an expert in a
skilled trade
(b) By taking part in a pre-apprenticeship
program
(c) By interviewing auto mechanics or pastry
makers
(d) By spending only 20% of their time in class
