Career training pupils
Vocational students are those enrolled in programs that train for specific trades or occupations rather than general academic education.
The term typically refers to people studying practical skills like welding, nursing, automotive repair, or cosmetology: The vocational students spent mornings in the classroom and afternoons in the shop.
The phrase sometimes carries class connotations, distinguishing trade-oriented learners from college-bound peers.
