Why should an apprentice approach their Journeyworker?

An apprentice should approach their Journeyworker to find out their expectations because a clear understanding of these expectations is crucial for their development and success in the trade. The Journeyworker is an experienced individual who can provide valuable insights into the specific skills, tasks, and behaviors that are required for the job at hand. By discussing expectations, the apprentice can align their performance with the standards of the trade, ensuring they learn the necessary competencies and contribute effectively to the team. This approach fosters a positive mentor-mentee relationship, allows the apprentice to ask relevant questions, and promotes a collaborative learning environment where they can receive constructive feedback. Understanding what the Journeyworker expects helps apprentices set goals and track their progress in the apprenticeship program.
