2@Matt: It is more subtle than that. For example, 運転技術 means “driving skills.”– Tsuyoshi ItoCommented Nov 27, 2011 at 21:23

@TsuyoshiIto: Nice, I didn't know that. That's why I only posted a comment. But I think it's fair to say that what I wrote above is roughly what it means. どう思いますか？– Rudy the ReindeerCommented Nov 27, 2011 at 21:33

Thank you but I want to mean something like this: “京都以外の出身者の若い女性たちが、その芸術、芸能を伝承し、” or like this: “現在日本では、技術 技能の断絶への懸念が高まっている。”– Ela OktayCommented Nov 27, 2011 at 21:42

There are several diffrences, and I am not sure if I can list them all. The following is what I feel.
技能 is for established techonology/skill (typically traditional ones), whereas 技術 is any kind of techonology (typically modern ones).
技能 is attached to a human, whereas 技術 can be done by using machinery, human skills, improved planning of process, or combination of these.
技能 is inherited from a master to a younger generation, and has the implication that, once acheived, it stays permanently for the person. 技術 does not have that implication.
