Trade School & Apprenticeship

Trade schools, also known as technical schools, are postsecondary educational institutions designed to train students for a specific job in a skilled trade. Students typically pay tuition to attend this hands-on instruction and take trade-related courses. Trade schools do not typically award college credit or a degree but rather certifications for completed training. Trade and technical schools provide highly focused training programs specifically designed to prepare students for a job in a skilled or mechanical trade.
