English term or phrase: commercial trainee/trade apprentice
Det er tydeligvis en slags lærling/elev, men hvilken betydning får det med commercial/trade foran?

"Assessment of productive employees
Mechanics, electricians, painters...
Formula:
Trade apprentices, provided working under a productive mechanic or generating own productive hours
1st year ....
2nd year ....
3rd + 4th years ...

Commercial trainees are assessed as indirectly productive at 0.2 PU (PU = personnel unit), regardless of training year."

lærling/elev
Explanation:
'Lærling' er godt, så har du ikke sagt for meget. Konteksten viser jo, at vores 'apprentice' er en mekanikerlærling her.
Hvis du nævner specifikke fagområder, risikerer du at ramme forbi i enkelte tilfælde. Fx er en mekanikerlærling ikke en slags håndværkerlærling, men de er begge samme slags lærling.
Samme med 'elev'. 'Kontorelev' er meget almindeligt, men teksten kunne jo også dække andre slags.

Explanation:
Jeg er temmelig sikker på, det ville være 'a trade', dvs, et håndværk, som 'apprentices' lærer,

i modsætning til 'trade' i betydning af 'handel' - det vil 'commercial trainees' så være optaget med.

butikselev/håndværkslærling


Explanation:
umiddelbart læser jeg trainee som "-elev" og "-apprentice" som lærling - og commercial som "handels-" og trade som "håndværks-". Om commercial så i virkeligheden er skal forstås bredere, så det bliver "handels- og kontorelev", kan måske læses ud af resten af teksten?
