Synonyms: die Lehre (apprenticeship), die Schulung (training course), das Studium (studies)

From the verb 'ausbilden' (to train), which combines 'aus-' (out) and 'bilden' (to form, shape). The idea is 'shaping someone out' for a profession.

Think of 'aus' (out) + 'Bild' (picture). You are forming a complete 'picture' of a skill or profession, bringing it 'out'.
