secretarial school
Office skills training
A secretarial school is a vocational institution that trains students in office skills—typing, shorthand, filing, bookkeeping, and business correspondence.
These schools flourished in the mid-20th century when administrative work was a primary career path for women.
Most have closed or evolved into broader business programs as office technology and gender roles changed.
