Skill Development is training for a specific career or occupation except for professionals. Vocational training focuses on the practical application of learned skills and is generally not related to theory or traditional academic skills. A large part of education in vocational schools is on training. Skill Development thus provides a link between education and the working world. It is usually provided either in high school or later in secondary trade school.
