The US DOL has a list of FAQs on that webpage [1], including "How is apprenticeship different from other types of work-based training models?" For example: "Apprenticeships include a structured training plan, with a focus on mastering specific skills an employer needs to fill an occupation within their organization" and "Apprentices receive individualized training with an experienced mentor who walks them through their entire process" and "Apprenticeships lead to an industry-recognized credential". I've never heard of a "junior developer" position that had a standard syllabus and classes, or that offered an "industry-recognized and portable credential" at the end. Interestingly, that DOL page does link to an outline of a "Computer Programmer" apprenticeship [2], but it's rather sparse, and ancient. The only languages taught are JCL, COBOL, and FORTRAN! I guess it hasn't been used in 50 years.
