Today I encountered the term "Journeyman."
It appears to apply to German trades.
Much like USA might view "apprentice."

A good friend, anglo, from South Africa, used the term regarding his time in Canada after arriving in Chicago at a relative's doorstep with $13 in his pocket.

He was a successful electrician. A kid from church used the same term for "masonary/bricklayer" ...but he had no "green card" and considered himself safe ... since white-folk that spoke English had no problems ... until his girlfriend, literally threw him down the stairs.
