Academies Link High School Students to Postsecondary Voc-Ed Programs |
| West Los Angeles College offers a Fire Instruction, Recruitment and Education, (F.I.R.E.), vocational and technical education Academy that serves high school students wanting to transition to the world of work. This “School-to-Career” Academy, (where potential employers are brought in to provide "hands-on" instruction to students), seeks to motivate high school students to increase their achievement in academic classes for future careers. Students enroll concurrently in West Los Angeles College courses so that they can matriculate directly into a college career path. Currently, a Robotics Academy is in the planning phase, and the college’s Military Science program is seeking linkage to the new - formed Leadership Academy located at Los Angeles Valley College.
