Apprenticeship History
• “Education for Work”, has its beginnings in
about 2000 B.C. (organized apprenticeship)
with the Scribes in Egypt.
• Rules for governing apprenticeships were
included in the Code of Hammurabi, in 2100
B.C.

• As the tools became more complex, the
knowledge and skills became more
specialized.
• Parents and family members could no longer
teach the next generational everything they
needed to become a productive member of
society.
– Indentureship
Ohio State
Apprenticeship Council
• Children were apprenticed to a craftsman or
artisan who obtained special skills and tools of
a particular trade.
• In exchange for work, the craftsman would
teach and instruct the child in the particulars of
the particular trades.
Ohio State

• Apprentices usually lived with their craftsman
and did not receive pay, as they were learning
a skill that was considered highly valuable.
• This model of “Domestic Apprentices”,
disappeared with the expansion of industry in
the Industrial Revolution.
