ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Vocational education

Vocational education is like playing pretend in school, but with a purpose!

Imagine you love building Lego houses and cars. If you go to vocational school, you'll learn how to be a better builder and fixer! You'll also learn how to work with machines and tools to fix other things like real buildings or cars.

But, vocational school isn't just for Lego builders! You can learn how to fix computer problems, cook, cut hair, and so much more!

It's important because it helps you get ready for a job that you'll love and that pays well later on. You get to learn by doing things that interest you! It's like learning while you're having fun. And when you're all done, you have a special certificate that tells people that you're really good at something!

So, if you love doing something and want to do it for your job, go to vocational school!
