A vocational school is a type of educational institution, which is designed to provide vocational education or technical skills required to complete the tasks of a particular and specific job. In the case of secondary education, these schools differ from academic high schools which usually prepare students who aim to pursue tertiary education, rather than enter directly into the workforce.
Vocational schools focus on job-specific training for students who are typically bound for one of the skilled trades, rather than providing academic training for students pursuing careers in a professional discipline. It helps students gain knowledge in technical courses which will put them in line to become entrepreneurs.
