That's what I always hope for.
Working with a new apprentice the last two weeks, whose background was new residential wiring. Roping Houses, all planed out for him. Not a lot of thinking involved.
Here's what he was exposed to in the last two weeks. None of it new construction. He looked like a deer in the headlights most days.
*HVAC wiring, Heat pumps and AC's.
*Hot Tub's and land landscape wiring.
*Lighting controls. Contactors and photocells.
*Pool equipment Emergency Shut Off retrofit, and rewiring of pool pump equipment.
*Manufactured Home Service, and Feeder.
*Digging Utility splice pit for direct burried service laterals, for relocation of underground service.
*Installation of ceiling fans, cut in new boxes and run new cables.
*Service calls, Basic troubleshooting.
*Service upgrade, install new overhead meter main, new grounding and bonding, run new feeder, and swap out loadcenter.
I may have left out something but those are the highlights. He's had more new stuff thrown at him in two weeks, than in his whole first year of training.
...but then there's always next week.
