Career Education

The Laguna Beach Unified School District supports career education at all grade levels as part of its commitment to preparing students for lifelong success. Our Career Education program helps students explore career pathways, discover their strengths and interests, and develop a clear plan for life after high school.

Guided by the California Department of Education’s 12 Essential Elements for Career Technical Education, our program ensures access to meaningful college and career readiness opportunities for every student. Through a K–postsecondary continuum, students build essential skills and create a comprehensive plan for their future.

For more information, please contact Dr. Katie Treat, Coordinator of Career Education, at ktreat@lbusd.org or 949-497-7700, ext. 5327.
