Commercial high school (Japan)
- Commercial high school (Japan)
-
A commercial high school (商業高等学校, shōgyō kōtō gakkō?), called shōgyō kōkō (商業高校?) or shōgyō for short, is a Japanese high school which concentrates more on the teaching of business and commerce knowledge and skills rather than the college preparatory courses taught in most Japanese high schools. Most students who graduate from a commercial high school directly enter the work force rather than go to college. Most commercial high schools will have "shōgyō kōtō gakkō" in the name of the school.
Brief summary
Commercial high schools focus primarily in curriculum designed to teach the skills necessary for success in the business world, though there are a wide variety of fields of study on which to focus. Many students focus on gaining the necessary qualifications and certifications in order to assist them once they begin searching for employment in their specialized field of study.
Many commercial high schools and information technology schools are members of the National Commercial High School Association (全国商業高等学校長協会, Zenkoku Shōgyō Kōtō Gakkō Kyōkai?), or Zensho (全商協会, Zenshō Kyōkai?), a very influential organization in the Japanese business world. The Zensho sponsors all kinds of official certifications and conventions.
