What is the difference between a talent and a skill? Can they be acquired through training?

Talent is natural as they have and skills are what they learn these are some different levels of aspect.

 

but the training has to improve if there is any gaap

Talent is your innate ability to do something. It is your natural ability which is inborn.

Skill is a learnt ability. It is acquired or developed after you put in a lot of time and hard work.

Skill is developed by learning/practice and talent is in born.

Talent is something a person is born with or in other words a gift from God.  A skill is something that can be acquired through training.  For example, not all people might be good in communication but it if they were provided with the proper training they might succeed in acquiring such skill.  On the other hand, a singer or a football player must be talented in what he is doing.  Excessive training can result in either below average or average performance but it cannot result in a real outstanding performance.

Talent: A special natural ability or attitude.

A capacity for achievement or success. 

 

Skill: This is something that is gained as opposed to something that you already have. Skill involves learning via practice and experience.

The capability of producing a performance result with maximum certainty, minimum energy, or minimum time developed as a result of practice.

Train a worker's to do a particular task.

Talent is an innate ability to do something. It also involves potential for further development and improvement. A skill, on the other hand, is a learned ability and a result of study, effort, training even before development or improvement.

“The separation of talent and skill is one of the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are trying to excel, who have dreams, who want to do things. Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft." - Will Smith”

-A talent is an innate ability to do something. It also involves potential for further development and improvement. A skill, on the other hand, is a learned ability and a result of study, effort, training even before development or improvement.-Talents and skills are not substitutes for each other though they are used interchangeably. In many cases, a talent can be developed into a skill, as a refined form or as a demonstrated talent. This instance makes a talent as a platform to acquire or develop a skill easier.-In terms of acquisition, a talent is the natural aspect that needs little or no knowledge or effort while a skill is the nurturing aspect where there is a lot of time and effort spent to learn and execute a certain ability.-A talent occurs only in a limited number of people, and not everybody has access to it. Meanwhile, skills can be learned by anyone who has the capacity, potential, and willingness to learn.-A great advantage for learning a skill is that there are some additional values that can be learned in the midst of the learning process. Positive attributes regarding work and training can also help develop a person. Though talents can also offer the similar values in the duration of improvement, skills often require a more profound and much deeper embodiment and application of these values and attributes.-Both abilities are instrumental in the performance and accomplishment of a task or a dream

A talent is your ability to do something extraordinary that no one or a very few people could do.A skill is a professional enhancement in your way of doing a task.A skill can become a talent if its utilized in a such extraordinary way that most of the people won't be able to do.A skill can be gained by training but a talent is something which is self learnt.

talent from allah 

skills we can learn it from other or study

 

Thanks for invitation,

I do believe that :

Talent: is a given from God, or natural ability to do something with extra ordinary manner.

Skill: Can be learned or trained.

And both can be improved by experience.
