Spanish term or phrase: educación
Tengo dudas respecto de la traducción de "bachiller con capacitación laboral" y "bachiller en ciencias de la comunicación social".
Ambos títulos son de Argentina, y se me ocurre algo así como "High school degree in social communication" y "High school degree with work training"???
Alguna buena idea?
Gracias!!!!!!!

Explanation:
bachiller con capacitación laboral:
high school degree specialized in labor. (or with occupational/labor orientation)
bachiller en ciencias de la comunicación social. high school degree specialized in social communication.

I am also translating bachiller as high school degree, because that is what it is in Argentina. in most other countries, a bachiller would be a BSc.

Hope this helps.

agree  CNF: En la primera opción pondría "high school degree with occupational training" (training suena más a capacitación). Totalmente de acuerdo con la segunda opción de Robert. Suerte, Naty :^)

Baccalaureat Degree in social communication sciences


Explanation:
A bachiller or baccalauréat or bachirellato [sp?]whether in Europe or LA is ALWAYS more than a high school degree. Very often, these kids have the level of someone with an associate degree or higher. So why not use
Baccalaureate and then explain rather than try to force square pegs into round holes? After all, baccalaureate exists and we don't have this degree here.
