Are you interested in exploring a career pathway? LAEC offers training in construction and certified nursing assistance for young people who are seeking a high school diploma.
LAEC YouthBuild CTE Training Center is LAEC's option for young adults ages 18-25, without a diploma, who choose to transition directly into a career pathway instead of enrolling in a college or university after earning their high school diploma with us. The center offers curriculum where participants can gain hands-on training, new knowledge and skills through exploration, and earn industry certificates for high-wage jobs. It's open to LAEC students and alumni as well as any young person from the local community seeking a diploma and career. Our flagship program, located at the CTE Center on our CBA Watts campus, is Los Angeles Education Corps YouthBuild, where students can earn certifications while taking 166 hours of General Construction course(s) including the NCCER as well as CPR, first aid and Cal OSHA 10/30 courses. (LAEC is an affiliate of YouthBuild USA.) In addition, LAEC YouthBuild is now an Accredited Training Sponsor (ATS). This designation certifies our staff to train construction trainers and qualify them to earn continuing education credits or to renew their certifications. Students can simultaneously work on earning their high school diploma at our CBA Watts campus.
Our newest CTE opportunity, for 16-24 year olds without a diploma, is the TEC Pico Union Certified Nursing Assistant Training Program. Certified by the Department of Public Health Services, it is offered at our TEC Pico Union campus, and applications are being accepted now. Enter your information on the form to the right or stop by TEC Pico Union and pick up an application. Participants can earn a CNA while attending the high school located on-site during this 14-week program.
In the future, we will open a CNA training program at CBA Compton. We will also plan to train participants to earn certifications in the Culinary Arts. LAEC YouthBuild CTE Training Center is located at 9702 Holmes Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90002. The TEC Pico Union CNA Training Program is located at TEC Pico Union, 1403 S. Union Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90015. Our upcoming CNA program will operate at CBA Compton, 15116 S. Gibson Ave., Compton, CA 90221 To visit or for more information contact Aysia Middleton at (323) 718-1824 or [email protected] or enter your information in the form to the right and she will contact you.

Four-Year Focused
While assisting young people to overcome past obstacles, we also prepare them for transition to college. LAEC offers graduation resources through our Four-Year Focused program. During their senior year students are placed in a cohort with their graduating peers and receive individual case management and tracking and support in applying for college and financial aid. They also participate in workshops and go on college road trips. The summer before their freshman year in college they receive individual transition support. Students from grades 9-11 are also provided with college information, exposure and access via the LAEC’s Advisory Curriculum. This curriculum was designed to build students knowledge of themselves, leadership skill development and college knowledge. The expectation is that students complete their 11th grade year with all of the foundational knowledge they need to begin their Four-Year Focused journey in their senior year.
