Apprentice plumbers assist with all regular duties of the job, and their supervisors ... take the time to teach them and pass on valuable information. Generally, apprentices are responsible for things like bringing tools to a job site, supplying materials, cleaning up, and other duties which make their co-workers' jobs easier in exchange for the education and training they receive. Apprentice plumbers learn a range of new skills and are provided opportunities to apply them under the watchful eyes of other plumbers. Supervisors watch and critique apprentices' work and offer advice and ways to improve; as the apprentices improve, they are given more and more tasks and learn new skills such as how to replace pipes, change fittings, identify and locate leaks, and so on. 3, record 15, English, - apprentice%20plumber

A journeyman plumber is a trained plumber who has completed their apprenticeship under a master plumber. They are fully knowledgeable in the skills needed to be a plumber, and they have a working knowledge and application of the skills required to work as a plumber. A journeyman plumber works underneath the guidance of a master plumber to perform duties such as installation, repair, and maintenance related to plumbing. A journeyman plumber is typically not qualified or ready to own their own business and manage employees; while they are considered fully trained, their level of skill is considered intermediate. 3, record 16, English, - journeyman%20plumber
