"An apprentice" is singular, but "their" is plural; this is a pronoun-antecedent agreement error. Correct forms include: "An apprentice can learn how to do a trade from his or her master." (Or, in modern usage, singular "they" is often accepted: "An apprentice can learn how to do a trade from their master.")
