Laney Summer Institute (LSI)
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 (June 20 – July 27th, 2023).
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 I mention classes are FREE to High School students!?
** Incoming 9th graders also qualify to participate in these programs.

Regularly scheduled classes
The courses below are regularly scheduled Laney summer courses open to all (including high school students). We’ve selected these as great courses for young adults to learn more about these careers. All of these courses meet during the standard Laney summer term (June 20th – July 27th, 2023). These do NOT require participation acceptance into the Summer Institute.
- Everyone needs to register to get a Peralta ID number.

- Note: If you already have a Peralta ID, but it’s been longer than one year since you’ve taken a class, you’ll need to go online and reactivate your student ID number.
- For high school students, while you can get your Peralta ID online, unfortunately, you can NOT enroll for the class online. You need to enroll in-person at the Laney Admissions Department, room A-109. Before you do, fill out and get all the signatures on the High School Enrollment Form and bring that with you.
