I was walking passed รร.ช่างฝีมือทหาร reflecting on the fact that when I first came to live here I assumed that it meant "Army tradesmen School" . Because ช่างไม้ ช่างไฟ are examples of someone skilled in manual or artistic fields, I had ช่าง as weighted towards tradesman or craftsman.

I wonder if those of us who have an English word for ช่าง feel the same way as me.

IMO the closest in British English would probably be "Army Technical College".

โรงเรียนช่างฝีมือทหาร  = Military Technical Training School

Aforek's is the official title and it seems that ช่าง means what I thought it meant, I shouldn't have questioned it.
I looked at their publicity film, it ends with a little poetry if anyone is interested.
อันชาติใดไร้ช่างชำนาญศิลป์
เหมือนนารินไร้โฉมบรรโลมสง่า
you won't find นาริน anywhere because it is นาริ modified to rhyme with ศิลป์
