In the case of secondary education, these schools differ from academic high schools which usually prepare students who aim to pursue tertiary education, rather than enter directly into the workforce. With regard to post-secondary education, vocational schools are traditionally distinguished from four-year <a href="/wiki/Colleges" class="mw-redirect" title="Colleges">colleges</a> by their focus on job-specific training to students who are typically bound for one of the <a href="/wiki/Skilled_trade" class="mw-redirect" title="Skilled trade">skilled trades</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> rather than providing academic training for students pursuing careers in a <a href="/wiki/Professional" title="Professional">professional</a> discipline. While many schools have largely adhered to this convention, the purely vocational focus of other trade schools began to shift in the 1990s "toward a broader preparation that develops the academic" as well as the technical skills of their students.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p>

class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This model of "technical college" has largely been superseded by vocational schools offering courses under a framework known as <a href="/wiki/Technical_and_further_education" title="Technical and further education">TAFE</a>. Only four technical colleges remain, and these are now referred to as "trade colleges". At these colleges, students complete a modified year 12 certificate and commence a school-based apprenticeship in a trade of their choice. There are two trade colleges in Queensland; Brisbane, the Gold Coast, <a href="/wiki/Australian_Industry_Trade_College" title="Australian Industry Trade College">Australian Industry Trade College</a> and one in Adelaide, St. Patrick's Technical College, and another in Perth, Australian Trades College. </p><p>In Queensland, students can also undertake VET at private and public high schools instead of studying for their overall position (OP), which is a tertiary entrance score. However these students usually undertake more limited vocational education of one day per week whereas in the trade colleges the training is longer. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="North_America">North America</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Vocational_school&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: North America"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Canada">Canada</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Vocational_school&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Canada"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:West_Park_Secondary_School_(Toronto).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/West_Park_Secondary_School_%28Toronto%29.jpg/220px-West_Park_Secondary_School_%28Toronto%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/West_Park_Secondary_School_%28Toronto%29.jpg/330px-West_Park_Secondary_School_%28Toronto%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/West_Park_Secondary_School_%28Toronto%29.jpg/440px-West_Park_Secondary_School_%28Toronto%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2816" data-file-height="2112" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/West_Park_Secondary_School" title="West Park Secondary School">West Park Secondary School</a> in Toronto is an example.

In the past (pre mid 1960s) some provinces Vocational schools in Western Canada were sometimes called "<a href="/wiki/College_(Canada)" title="College (Canada)">colleges</a>" in Canada.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, a college may also refer to an institution that offers part of a university degree, or credits that may be transferred to a university. </p><p>In Ontario Technical schools like Central Technical School in Toronto, which was started in the late 1800s to train workers in the evening, eventually evolved into high schools when the education system was extended to the high school level. When the public education system was expanded in by the early 1920s high school level education was provided in Technical / Commercial Schools or Collegiate Institutes in a hybrid high school/ college level like situation. In <a href="/wiki/Ontario" title="Ontario">Ontario</a> prior to the mid 1960s a Vocational School was a trades or job training school that provided training in a very focused trades related area, and these were started in the early 1950s, and the few that existed were merged as departments of the Community colleges that were established starting in the mid 1960s . </p><p>Secondary schools had evolved into three separated streams: technical schools, commercial and collegiates (the academic schools). By the mid 1960s in suburban areas purpose built High Schools for slow learners or individuals that were being trained for jobs after high school was also termed "vocational schools". By the early late 1960s many of the technical and commercial school programs in large populated areas like around Toronto, were being merged or had purpose built combined schools were being built. While the schools still exist, the curriculum has changed so that no matter which type of school one attends, they can still attend any post-secondary institution and still study a variety of subjects and others (either academic or practical).<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In Ontario, the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities divided post-secondary education into universities, community colleges and private career colleges. </p><p>In the Province of Quebec, there are some vocational programs offered at institutions called <a href="/wiki/CEGEP" title="CEGEP">CEGEPs</a> (<i>collège d'enseignement général et professionnel</i>),<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but these too may function as an introduction to university. Generally, students complete two years at a CEGEP directly out of high school, and then complete three years at a university (rather than the usual four), to earn an undergraduate degree. Alternatively, some CEGEPs offer vocational training, but it is more likely that vocational training will be found at institutions separate from academic institutions, though they may still be called colleges. Although many (if not most) vocational programs are in high school. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="United_States">United States</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Vocational_school&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: United States"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Vocational_education_in_the_United_States" title="Vocational education in the United States">Vocational education in the United States</a></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Tech_certificate" class="mw-redirect" title="Tech certificate">Tech certificate</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tech_ed" class="mw-redirect" title="Tech ed">Tech ed</a></div> <p>In the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a>, there is a very large difference between career college and vocational college.

They were usually 10 years old when they entered service, and were first called <i>leerling</i> (<a href="/wiki/Apprentice" class="mw-redirect" title="Apprentice">apprentice</a>), then <i>gezel</i> (<a href="/wiki/Journeyman" title="Journeyman">journeyman</a>) and after an exam - sometimes with an example of workmanship called a <i>meesterproef</i> (<a href="/wiki/Masterpiece" title="Masterpiece">masterpiece</a>) - they were called <i>meester</i> (<a href="/wiki/Master_craftsman" title="Master craftsman">master craftsman</a>). In 1795, all of the <a href="/wiki/Guilds" class="mw-redirect" title="Guilds">guilds</a> in the Netherlands were disbanded by <a href="/wiki/Napoleon" title="Napoleon">Napoleon</a>, and with them the guild vocational schooling system. After the French occupation, in the 1820s, the need for quality education caused more and more cities to form day and evening schools for various trades. In 1854, the society <i>Maatschappij tot verbetering van den werkenden stand</i> (society to improve the working class) was founded in Amsterdam, that changed its name in 1861 to the <i>Maatschappij voor de Werkende Stand</i> (Society for the working class). This society started the first public vocational school (<i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ambachtschool_(Amsterdam)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Ambachtschool (Amsterdam) (page does not exist)">De Ambachtsschool</a></i>) in <a href="/wiki/Amsterdam" title="Amsterdam">Amsterdam</a>, and many cities followed. At first only for boys, later the <i>Huishoudschool</i> (housekeeping) was introduced as vocational schooling for girls.

The name was changed to LTS (<i>lagere technische school</i>, lower technical school), where mainly boys went because of its technical nature, and the other option, where most girls went, was LBO (<i>lager beroepsonderwijs</i>, lower vocational education). In 1992 both LTS and LBO changed to VBO (<i>voorbereidend beroepsonderwijs</i>, preparatory vocational education) and since 1999 VBO together with MAVO (<i>middelbaar algemeen voortgezet onderwijs</i>, intermediate general secondary education) changed to the current VMBO (<i>voorbereidend middelbaar beroepsonderwijs</i>, preparatory intermediate vocational education). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="South_Asia">South Asia</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Vocational_school&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: South Asia"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="India">India</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Vocational_school&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: India"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Vocational_education_in_India" title="Vocational education in India">Vocational education in India</a></div> <p>In <a href="/wiki/India" title="India">India</a> vocational schools are mainly run by the government under the guidance of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship.
