A 
trade school is a post-secondary school that provides practicable training for an industry or skill. Typically targeted at those who do not plan to attend tertiary education (aka university), although like community college, sometimes leads to it. Usually a much shorter matriculation period (1-2 years).
NOT a degree-granting institution (e.g. JD or MD etc.); or no more than Associate's (no Bachelor's). Often grants "certificates". Sometimes these certificates have legal weight in certain jurisdictions (i.e. required to practice the trade).
