Kutsekeskkools

Kutsekeskkool, also known as a vocational secondary school, is a type of educational institution in Estonia that focuses on providing students with practical skills and knowledge in various trades and professions. These schools are part of the country's education system and are designed to prepare students for both further education and the workforce. Kutsekeskkools typically offer a wide range of vocational programs, including fields such as construction, information technology, healthcare, and business.
