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.
