Do they have the same meaning?
A: Outline the various differences between theoretical study and the practical development of employment skills . In what ways may they ,in fact, be similar?

B: Describe the similarities and differences between academic study and vocational training?

Q: Look at writing task A and compare it with version B . Do they have the same meaning?
My answer is that they are different. But I am not quite sure about the meaning of the practical development of employment skills.
My understanding is it means some of the work skills( or employment skills) should be gained from practical development , which I guess one should put his academic study in practical hands-on experience. Am I right for this part?

Answer

You are correct in that the practical development is hands-on experience. When English speakers talk about vocational schools, they are referring to school programs that teach a specific skill, like welding or carpentry. This is in contrast to theoretical or academic work, which are programs that teach about ideas. Theoretical studies may not be hands on. :)  I agree with your statement that even theoretical work should be hands-on in order to prepare people for employment. Great work!
