I believe the answer is:

apprentice

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

'trainee' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'programme one element of education to lure' is the wordplay.
'programme' becomes 'app' (type of computer programme).
'one element of education' becomes 'r' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to lure' becomes 'entice' (lure can mean to entice or attract).
'app'+'r'+'entice'='APPRENTICE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for apprentice that I've seen before include "student" , "Novice" , "Trainee" , "Learner" , "new worker" .)
