German Vocational School

The Berufsschulen are two-and-three-year German vocational schools that prepare young people for a profession. These schools usually offer full-time vocation-specific programs. They are attended by students who want to train for a specialty or those already in the workforce who want to earn the equivalent of an intermediate school certificate.

德国职业学校

U.S. Community College

America's community colleges have evolved far from their original roles as specialized extensions of high schools. There is no longer anything “junior” about the majority of U.S. two-year colleges. With more than half of America's undergraduate student enrollment, community colleges are now a cornerstone of undergraduate teaching and learning.

美国社区大学

美国社区大学原来只扮演作为普通高中补充的角色,但是现在却已经涵盖更多的内容。对于美国大多数两年制的学院来说,不再有什么初级的东西了。随着超过一半的美国大学生的报名,社区大学已经成为了大学教育和学习的一个重要的组成部分。
