The apprentice learns the skills of his trade from the master craftsman. When the master craftsman decides that the apprentice has learned all he needs, apprenticeship ends and the apprentice becomes a journeyman who usually leaves the master craftsman to practice his trade on his own.
The job of the apprentice was to serve his master in whatever way the master required. In the process, the apprentice was expected to learn the skills required to become a master, and the master was expected to teach those skills. The highest status for the apprentice were the pages and squires who were apprentices of knights. But there were apprentices for most crafts and trades, such as baking, brewing or trading.
