Technical schools, also called technical colleges or technical institutes.

"Technical Schools, Let's discuss what a technical school is, the specialized training it provides, and what degrees are available. We'll then explain technical high schools and how they help prepare high school students for a career.

Technical schools, or trade school, also called technical colleges or technical institutes, provide specialized training in a specific career field, trade, or profession, including computer technology, business administration, culinary arts, electronics, medical assisting, legal assisting, automotive technology, and cosmetology. Programs at technical colleges can take anywhere from less than two years up to four years to complete and typically award a certificate, diploma, or associate's degree. Associate's degree options include an Associate of Arts, an Associate of Science, and an Associate of Applied Science.

Unlike many community colleges and four-year universities that require students to complete general education courses prior to delving into their major field of study, students attending technical colleges usually take courses related to their major during their first term. Technical colleges emphasize hands-on training and offer internship experience in a relevant work setting. Job placement services are also available to students.
