Urcea has a well developed system of {{wp|trade schools}} maintained by each [[Guilds (Urcea)|guild]], with most guilds having either a standalone trade school per province or an embedded program within provincial public universities. Trade schools are typically a three year degree program that includes salaried apprenticeship roles beginning in the second year of an education. While a trade school degree does not require an individual to join the particular guild industry of their choice on graduation, the education is highly specialized to each guild and sets an individual on the track of life within that industry. As guilds are divided into both labor and capital, the education provided at trade schools includes both technical, hands-on labor education as well as practical management and financial balancing courses necessary for an individual to one day own their own firm. Trade schools also offer intangible benefits to its graduates, namely networking opportunities and personal engagement with local [[Guilds_(Urcea)#Vested_membership|vested guild members]], often offering apprenticeships under vested owners and workers alike. Due to the social and economic influence of guilds within Urcea, the percentage of young people attending trade schools as opposed to traditional liberal arts-oriented institutions of higher education is higher than any other [[Occidental]] country.
