A young worker who wanted to join a guild started by finding a job as an apprentice. He spent several years doing menial work and learning the trade he was preparing for. When he finished this process, the master who was teaching him made him a journeyman.
He then worked at the trade as a journeyman, doing the simpler sorts of work for lower pay rates, but usually independently. During this time he worked on what was called a masterpiece. When the masterpiece was finished, he presented it to the guild, and if it was accepted, then he was made a master and a full guild member.
There were other ways a young worker could get into a guild, and this depended upon the guild. The route including apprenticeship and journeyman work was normal for crafts guilds. Some merchant guilds made membership automatic for sons of guild members when they reached a certain age. Other merchant guilds gave membership to anyone who could pay the price.
