Stephen's signature skill which, at last, turns the badass cook into an interesting and useful character. The fact that another crewmember has to have the skill you want to learn, and be alive, makes it less suited for filling in holes, but it does serve well as a backup if you need more people with crucial everyday skills like 
Pilot or 
Technician.
For personal 
from fighting aliens, Stephen has an incentive to learn 
Astrophysicist to increase the number of expeditions, and 
Survivalist or even 
Botanist to secure a place on the team.
To just help the ship, in a general way, the best support skill would be 
Logistics Expert.
Most of all, though, this skill can be used in very interesting ways when copying rare signature skills, as in having two 
Genius crewmembers, two 
Shrinks boosting morale, two 
Trackers comparing lists, seven cameras from 
Paranoid, or up to twelve hydropots from two people with 
Green Thumbs.
The effect of 
Mankind's only hope doesn't stack, but if Chun is inactive and about to die, you can replace her.
Using your apprenticeship skill costs 1 
, and it gives you a list of the skills available in the room for you to pick, similar to the normal skill selection.
