practical training
Learning by doing
Practical training is hands-on instruction that develops skills through doing rather than studying theory.
Medical students complete practical training in hospitals, apprentices learn trades through practical training with experienced workers.
The term often appears in visa and immigration contexts, where international students receive work authorization for practical training in their field of study.
