No. Not the Donald Trump version but that dealing with workers doing real work (you may note some disdain for the television show he says, venom dripping from his jagged row of teeth). Apprentices were origianally called "prentices" as in "He was prentice to..." which for ease of language was often "he was a prentice to" which became "aprentice then apprentice to be more in keeping" with the language - and the origin of that word came from "proteges" - we think of it as taking someone "under your wing" and teaching them by letting them do things along side of you. It goes back to guilds and to indentured servants and all kinds of things good and bad, slave to comrade is the gamut. One concept of apprentice is that many hands make light work and before there were machines to do "skilled work" that needed to be done the same way consistently, you trained someone in the "way you do things" and they copied you...a reproduction machine if you will.
