This article is about the "skilled manual worker" meaning of the term. For other uses, see Tradesperson (disambiguation).
A tradesperson or tradesman/woman is a skilled worker that specialises in a particular trade. Tradespeople (tradesmen/women) usually gain their skills through work experience, on-the-job training, an apprenticeship program or formal education.
As opposed to a craftsperson or an artisan, a tradesperson (tradesman/woman) is not necessarily restricted to manual work.
