JOURNEYMAN

n. person who has studied a trade and is qualified to work with or under a professional; qualified worker, experienced laborer; one who does work for another and is paid by the day; artificer, artisan, skilled worker

A journeyman is a tradesman or craftsman who has completed an apprenticeship. In parts of Europe, as in later medieval Germany, spending time as a journeyman (Geselle), moving from one town to another to gain experience of different workshops, was an important part of the training of an aspirant master. In later medieval England, however, most journeymen remained as employees throughout their careers, lacking the financial resources to set up their own workshops. In France, they were known as Compagnons. The origin of the word is French.
