Among the construction trades, in most industrialized counties, each has a distinct 4-year craft apprenticeship education and usually once
started a worker remains in a single craft and progresses through ranks of skill for the duration of their career (pre-apprentice, apprentice,
and journeyman; some countries include a post-journeyman 'master' level, which in other countries is a company title like leadman,
foreman, and superintendent). While not as formalized in laws as in industrialized counties, the same situation is true through craft
traditions in non-industrialized countries.
