Answer 1

Answer: It is true that Samuel is taking part in an apprenticeship program.

Explanation:

An apprenticeship is a form of training of people on a profession or trade. It usually involves on-the-job training and may also involve study such as reading and classroom work. Most of the training is done while the person is working for an employer. The employer teaches the apprentice about the profession or trade in exchange for the apprentice continued labor which is usually for an agreed period of time.

There is variation in the duration an apprentice spends with his or her employer depending on the roles, sectors, professions and cultures. The people who completes the apprenticeship successfully can become journeyman. A journeyman is a worker who is skilled in a particular craft or trade and has completed an apprenticeship successfully.
