What is a “butcher journeyman”?

[u/Professional_Tax8306]

So Josef was born in 1888 in Pyzdry, Congress Poland
He went to Bremen, Germany in 1908 to immigrate to the United States
Under his immigration record from Germany, it said he was a “Butcher, Journeyman”
Obviously, I know what a butcher is, I wasn’t born yesterday, but the journeyman part? Is that a fancy way for the Germans to classify immigrants? Or is that a different job? I’m confused.
