There are 5 Specializations: Combat, Crafting, Exploration, Gathering, and Sabotage.

You can unlock Specializations by going to the Landsraad and having at least Faction Level 5. You’ll partake in Landsraad missions where you earn Specialization XP. The XP will unlock level rewards in your chosen Specialization.
