ABSTRACT
The apprenticeship system in Igbo land, with a case study of Onitsha, is a unique and longstanding socio-economic institution that has played a crucial role in shaping the region's economy, culture, and social fabric. This system has its roots in precolonial times and continues to have relevance in modern times. The apprenticeship system in Igbo land has its origins in the pre-colonial era when communities were organized around extended families and clans. In these societies, skills, knowledge, and trades were passed down through generations within families. Apprenticeship served as a means of transmitting these skills from experienced craftsmen to younger individuals, ensuring the preservation and continuity of traditional trades and professions.
