| Occupations | A worker who learns, according to written or oral contractual agreement, a recognized skilled craft or trade requiring one or more years of on-the-job training through job experience supplemented by related instruction, prior to being considered a qualified skilled worker. High school or vocational school education is often a prerequisite for entry into an apprenticeship program. Provisions of apprenticeship agreement regularly include length of apprenticeship; a progressive scale of wages; work processes to be taught; and amount of instruction in subjects related to the craft or trade, such as characteristics of materials used, physics, mathematics, estimating, and blueprint reading. Apprenticeability of a particular craft or trade is best evidenced by its acceptability for registration as a trade by a State Apprenticeship agency or the Federal Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training. Generally, where employees are represented by a union, apprenticeship programs come under the guidance of joint apprenticeship committees composed of representatives of the employers or the employer association and representatives of the employees. These committees may determine need for apprentices in a locality and establish minimum apprenticeship standards of education, experience, and training. In instances where committees do not exist, apprenticeship agreement is made between apprentice and employer, or an employer group. The title APPRENTICE is often loosely used as a synonym for beginner, HELPER (any industry) Master Title, or TRAINEE (any industry). This practice is technically incorrect and leads to confusion in determining what is meant. Typical classifications for apprentices are BLACKSMITH APPRENTICE (forging); MACHINIST APPRENTICE (machine shop); PLUMBER APPRENTICE (construction). (references) | ||

| Apprentice Boys of Derry | The Apprentice Boys Of Derry are a Protestant fraternal society with a worldwide membership, founded in 1814. They are based in Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The Society aims to commemorate the 1688 siege of Derry where Catholic James II of England laid siege to the walled city of Derry / Londonderry which harboured the local Protestant population. Some Apprentice Boys marches provoke riots as Nationalists protested against the parades passing through their areas. However Apprentice Boys parades have become almost totally trouble free, with only a few parades each year seeing any trouble. They are regarded as more conciliatory than the Orange Order, a similar Protestant/unionist organisation. They were formally associated with the Ulster Unionist Party from 1911 until the mid-1970s. Ian Paisley, leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, is the organisation's most well-known member. (references) | ||
| Apprentice Pillar | The Apprentice Pillar, or Prentice Pillar, is a decorated column in the 15th-century Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland.
