Special Training Schools
Advanced courses in vocational special training schools (senmon gakkō (専門学校?) in Japanese) require upper-secondary school completion. These schools offer training in specific skills, such as computer science and vocational training, and they enroll a large number of men. Some students attend these schools in addition to attending a university; others go to qualify for technical licenses or professional certification. The prestige of special training schools is lower than that of universities, but graduates, particularly in technical areas, are readily absorbed by the job market.
