These payslips record the weekly pay to an apprentice at the Dockyard Technical College from 1957 to 1962, starting at $24.75 per week with an annual increment of $2.75. The College, a part of the British Naval Base at Sembawang, paid young men a small weekly wage to study and learn technical skills. At the end of their five-year apprenticeship, they were free to leave, if they chose, or remain employed at the British Naval Base.
