Industrial training involves preparing educators to teach practical, career-related skills, often in technical subjects like culinary arts, construction, or agriculture, requiring both teaching expertise and industry experience.
What it is:
Focus on practical skills:
Teachers guide students towards acquiring practical skills and knowledge applicable in workplace settings, rather than solely focusing on academic subjects.
Technical subjects:
They may teach courses in areas like culinary arts, construction, hospitality, agricultural science, or other technical fields.
Dual professionals:
Vocational teachers are often considered "dual professionals" because they need expertise in both teaching methodologies and their specific vocational field.
Industry experience:
Teachers often benefit from having prior experience in the industry they teach, allowing them to provide relevant and practical instruction.
