The school or school?

Hi,
I was trying to apply for a job. Should I add articles "the" in front of "school" and " workplace" in the sentence below? "I have knowledge and work experience in measuring tools such as coordinate measuring machines, micrometers and other inspection equipment that I learned from school and workplace. " Do I have to be more specific and say which school and what company I learned these skills from?

Thanks,

clee62 that I learned from school and workplace. " Home, church, school, and work don't require the article. I learned it at school; I learned it at work.

  • clee62 that I learned from school and workplace.
  • " Home, church, school, and work don't require the article.
  • I learned it at school; I learned it at work.
  • " Presumably, your resume will include the specific sources of your education and work experience.
  • I don't see any need to state exactly where you learned each skill.

I learned it at school; I learned it at work.

But "I learned it at the workplace."
