minus-squaregrranibal@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up0·17 days agoThe only time I’ve heard the term “shadow” was in a 1-2 day “apprenticeship”, but it was more of a showcase of the work. This was ~3 years ago
minus-squarecrank0271@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·17 days agoWell it sounds less spooky when you put it that way.
minus-squareHeartyOfGlass@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·17 days agoI think there’s a difference - “shadowing” a person is a short-term thing (couple days to a week? Maybe more?) where you want to get a taste of the trade, vs. an “apprenticeship” where it’s treated more like a part-time job with responsibilities.
You mean an apprenticeship?
