VOCATIONAL TRAINING
Vocational training can be described as a training that emphasizes knowledge and skills needed for a specific trade, craft or job function. Earlier, this training was confined to certain trades like welding, automotive services and carpentry but the horizon of vocational training has expanded with the evolution of time.
Vocational training in Russia is an important part of education in our country. The purpose of this training is to produce skilled workers in various sectors ranging from education, engineering, medicine etc.
Vocational education is the initial stage of professional education. It is aimed at the training of workers, usually on the basis of basic general education. Vocational training for certain occupations may be based on secondary (complete) general education. Admission to vocational education institutions normally does not need any entrance examinations.
Two kinds of vocational education can be distinguished:
The first kind of vocational education is offered by vocational education institutions called Professional Schools. In these institutions, educational programmes are aimed at the acquisition of professional qualifications and mainly cover subjects for professional training.
The second kind of vocational education is offered by vocational education institutions called Professional Lycei. In these institutions, educational programmes, in addition to the professional education component, also include a general education component (educational programme of the tenth and eleventh grades).
