What is another name for a vocational school that provides skills for a specific job?

• A. Trade School
• B. Public College
• C. College
• D. Private College

Answer: (A)

A vocational focus is about learning hands-on, practical skills for a specific job. A school that provides this targeted training is called a trade school. It emphasizes teaching a particular trade—like plumbing, welding, cosmetology, or automotive technology—so students can earn a certificate or diploma and enter the workforce more quickly.

Public college, college, and private college are broader pathways that typically offer degree programs and a wider range of academic subjects. They’re not focused on one specific trade, even though some career-oriented programs exist within them. That’s why the trade school is the best fit for the description.
