How it's used
Often used in professional contexts to describe someone in a temporary, learning-based role before they are fully qualified. While it implies a lack of full authority, it is a standard term in corporate and medical settings for those gaining hands-on experience under supervision.
Examples
He is a trainee right now and hasn't received his full salary yet.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 實習 which is specifically for internships or students gaining academic credit. 見習 is typically used for full-time employees who are in their probationary period or undergoing specific training for a permanent role.
