When you are learning a craft, you are an apprentice. When you have learned enough to travel, to go out and work for yourself, you are a Journeyman. When a journeyman has enough experience to teach their craft to another, they have become a Master.
Journeymen
In a union shop, there are three levels of workers: apprentices, who are being trained in their trade; journeymen, who are proficient; and master tradesmen, who train apprentices and advise journeymen. I also found out journeymen were once called jacks.

the Willet Family has written: 'The rowing journeymen'
Journeymen were workers who had been through apprenticeship but not yet finished a masterwork and achieved the status of master. It was not uncommon for them to move from one town or city to another, working with a number of masters to learn what they could from each. They were not called journeymen because of travelling, but from a French word, journee, implying that they could charge a fee for each day's work.

Masters, apprentices, and journeymen are most closely associated with the guild system in medieval and early modern trades. This hierarchical structure facilitated the training of craftsmen, where apprentices learned under masters, journeymen worked to gain experience, and masters oversaw the quality and standards of the trade. The system ensured skill development and maintained high standards within various professions.
