Laney Summer Institute (LSI)

LSI Banner

The Career Education Division at Laney College (Oakland) offers career exploration programs for interested high school students in the Bay Area.

The programs are 6 weeks long and are focused on informing students about different career pathways through fun hands-on activities. We have “priority” programs for high school students, as well as regularly-scheduled introductory classes. All of these courses meet during the standard Laney summer term (mid June - mid July)

Program Highlights:

  • Explore career interests,
  • Develop new skills
  • Get hands-on experience in subjects that might not be offered in your High School
  • Meet other students with similar interests
  • Get a taste of college classes
  • Earn college credit

Taking part in a summer program is also a plus on UC/CSU college applications.

Did we mention classes are FREE to High School students!?
** Incoming 9th graders also qualify to participate in these programs.
