vocational college
Career training institution
A vocational college is an institution offering training in practical skills and trades rather than traditional academic subjects.
Programs typically prepare students for specific careers—nursing, welding, automotive repair, cosmetology—and lead to certificates or associate degrees rather than bachelor's degrees.
Also called a trade school or technical college: She enrolled in a vocational college to become a dental hygienist.
