How it's used
Often used in professional or corporate settings to refer to someone in a trial period or an entry level training role. Unlike some other job titles, it carries a clear implication that the person is still under evaluation and has not yet secured a permanent position. It is common to see this term in contexts like engineering, nursing, or office administration.
