the companionship bit refers back to the guild age...Andrew might be right in finding it odd, but the French term compagnonnage does ring exactly the same in French, a century old tradition adapted to modern requirements and training... Asker will see what fit in best

Compared with a similar project that used "buddy system" training, the one using our system had a 16.5% increase in production efficiency and a 58.6% decrease in scrap production. Again, the profit numbers are kept confidential.

shadowing


Explanation:
Often heard in the context of acquiring skills for a job that you are previously unfamiliar with. You train on the job by shadowing a more senior colleague, the idea being to stand in their shadow, ie looking over their shoulder, learning what the job entails until you have the knowledge to do the job yourself. If you enter "shadowing training" in google, there are hits a-plenty.
