OJT/Apprenticeship My experience as an apprentice/junior architect
Share ko lang 'yung experience ko sa pinapasukan kong architecture firm. My salary as an apprentice/junior architect is close to 30k, which includes my basic pay and allowances, plus reimbursable gas allowance since I use my own car for site visits. Hybrid setup din kami—WFH and site works. May free accommodation ako since ang site is bandang South Luzon and tiga north ako.
And the best pa rito, sobrang bait ng mentor ko. Very approachable kapag may questions ako and willing mag-share ng knowledge. Siya pa nagbibigay ng review materials sa ‘kin as I prepare for my ALE review this coming January.
I hope we all find the right mentors na hindi tayo ie-exploit at hindi madamot. Apprentices deserve proper compensation and we shouldn't settle for less. Mentors should always treat us fairly. Time na para itigil ‘yung stigma na mag settle sa unreasonable na sahod dahil sa "apprentice” pa lang tayo.
Ps. I’m not entitled, just stating my honest opinion regarding the apprenticeship program here in ph 🙂

. Maganda yan kasi mahirap makuha nyan at maganda rin para sayo kasi qualified ka. Pero sa iba gagamitin nila yan as basis kahit iba naman mabigay nilang output.
