Crossword Genius

Possibly train as a skilled worker (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artisan

'a skilled worker' is the definition.
(an artisan is a skilled craftsperson)

'possibly train as' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'train'+'as'='trainas'
'trainas' is an anagram of 'ARTISAN'.

(Other definitions for artisan that I've seen before include "Skilled craftsperson" , "Skilled tradesman" , "Tsarina (anag.)" , "man with skill" , "crafty person?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
