training school

Vocational learning center

A training school is an institution that teaches specific practical skills, often vocational or technical: a training school for nurses, a flight training school.

Historically, the term was a euphemism for juvenile detention facilities that supposedly rehabilitated young offenders through discipline and education—a usage that has largely faded as such institutions were renamed or reformed.
