Vocational-technical school
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vocational-technical schools, often called vo-tech schools, are high schools in the United States and Canada designed to bring traditional academia to their students, as well as provide them with vocational and technical skills. Such skills become valuable to students after graduation, especially those entering a vocational field without obtaining higher education first. Vocational-technical schools are accredited like any other high school.
Some vocational-technical schools are considered part-time, meaning they provide vocational and technical skills to their students, while the traditional portion of their education is obtained from their home school district. Students who attend such schools often spend one-half of the school year at one school and then spend the other half at the second school. Though less often, some vocational-technical schools are full-time and provide both aspects of a vocational-technical education within one school district or building. Such schools often have traditional academics during one-half of the day and vocational and technical learning throughout the other half.
