Morphology
The meaning 'a worker who has received specific training' is directly and transparently derived from combining the adjective 'trained' (having acquired skill via training) with the noun 'worker' (a person employed to do work). This straightforward adjective+noun composition follows common cross-linguistic patterns and would be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Trained worker comes from the simple picture of a worker who has been trained, that is, shown how to do special tasks. So it means 'a worker who has learned special skills or received specific training'.
