  • BioscienceLA Sparks is a middle and high school career exploration and workforce development program. The program includes three components: bilingual career awareness events, hands-on lab experiences, and guided local industry site visits.

  • Career Technical Education (CTE) bioscience programs provide high school students with industry-aligned lab skills, certifications, and work-based learning experiences in the biosciences.
