How are apprentices typically compensated during their training?

Apprentices are typically compensated by receiving a percentage of the journeyman wage. This structure reflects the fact that apprentices are in a training position while still contributing to the work being performed. As they gain skills and experience throughout their apprenticeship, their compensation often increases in stages, gradually reaching closer to the full journeyman wage as they advance in their training. This compensation model acknowledges the value of the work done by apprentices while also providing them with a means of financial support during their education and hands-on training in the electrical trade.
