Standard Mentorship
Taking on an apprenticeship with a mentor who has years of experience, skill, and expertise ahead of you.
The standard mentorship-apprenticeship model (Kenshusei) is different from peer-to-peer learning between journeymen. This can be further differentiated depending on the context, which enriches the parameters and expectations in the apprenticeship.
