trainee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'apprentice' is the definition.
(someone undergoing training)

'means of transport wih ease say' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'means' could be 'train' (I have seen 'Means of transport' mean 'train' so perhaps 'means' could also mean 'train') and 'train' is found within the answer.
'ease' could be 'ee' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ee' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'finding' is the link.
