Tradesman

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Tradesman refers to a skilled manual worker who specializes in a particular trade or craft. Economically and socially, a tradesman's status is considered between a laborer and a professional, with a high degree of both practical and theoretical knowledge of their trade. In cultures where professional careers are highly prized, there can be a shortage of skilled manual workers, leading to lucrative careers for those who choose trade professions.

History[edit | edit source]

The term tradesman was originally used to denote people involved in skilled labor, such as craftsmen, artisans, and similar professions. The rise of the tradesman came with the growth of towns in the Middle Ages, where individuals began to specialize in specific skills rather than being generalists.

Modern Tradesmen[edit | edit source]

In modern times, a tradesman is typically required to have a certified vocational training, which includes both theoretical and practical training in the chosen field. This certification is usually obtained through apprenticeships, where the tradesman works under the guidance of a more experienced worker and learns the trade through hands-on experience.
