LATC Educators Inspire the Region Through Innovative Teaching Excellence

Please join us in celebrating two exceptional Los Angeles Technology Center (LATC) educators whose dedication and innovation are making a meaningful impact, not only within our classrooms but throughout the adult education community.

Congratulations to Ms. Michele Blake and Ms. Lakisha Carter, Career Technical Education (CTE) instructors in Health Careers at Los Angeles Technology Center, on their outstanding presentation at the Los Angeles Regional Adult Education Consortium (LARAEC) Allied Health Collaborative.

Their engaging session, “Learning by Doing: Engaging Allied Health Students Through Collaborative Activities,” highlighted innovative instructional strategies that bring learning to life and encourage students to take an active role in their educational journey.

Adult education administrators, teachers, and stakeholders from across the region experienced a variety of interactive partner and small-group activities designed to strengthen medical terminology, expand vocabulary, foster collaboration, and deepen content mastery. Through practical, hands-on, and writing-based learning experiences, Ms. Blake and Ms. Carter demonstrated how meaningful student engagement can enhance learning outcomes and help prepare students for successful careers in healthcare.

Their presentation reflected the passion, creativity, and commitment to excellence that characterize the work taking place every day at Los Angeles Technology Center and LA Unified’s Division of Adult and Career Education (DACE). By sharing effective instructional practices with colleagues across the region, they showcased the leadership and innovation of our Health Careers program and contributed to advancing excellence in allied health education.

The excitement continues. In recognition of the value and impact of their presentation, Ms. Blake and Ms. Carter have been invited to present once again at the LARAEC Experience on Saturday, October 10, 2026.

Los Angeles Technology Center is proud to celebrate a meaningful semester in which we served over one hundred high school students in the Career Empowerment Academy from the following high schools:

Bernstein SH, Los Angeles High School, RFK Ambassador Global Leadership, RFK New Open World, WESM Health/Sports Med, West Adams Prep SH and Manual Arts High School.

Each student took important steps toward building their future and secured a $1,000 scholarship received on June 10,2026. A total of $1,000 scholarships were awarded to the Career Empowerment Academy students at Los Angeles Technology Center.

Students explored diverse career pathways, they took Personal Care Aide, Foundations of Health Careers, and Introduction to Construction trades.

Through hands-on learning and real-world application, many of our health pathway students earned industry-recognized certifications from the American Heart Association, including Bloodborne Pathogens and Basic Life Support (BLS). Students in the Foundations of Health Careers program not only gained exposure to a wide range of medical professions but also earned certifications in BLS, HIPAA, and Blood Pressure Skills—valuable credentials that open doors and build confidence.

In the construction program, students developed practical skills in plumbing, drywall, and electrical work. Beyond learning technical skills, they were introduced to career opportunities within the industry, helping them envision themselves in high-demand, rewarding fields.

At LATC, we believe that learning career technical skills is more than education—it is empowerment. These are skills that last a lifetime, providing stability, opportunity, and the ability to support oneself and one’s family. We are incredibly proud of our students for completing their courses and, more importantly, for gaining knowledge and skills that will serve them well into the future.

Equally important, students built essential 21st-century skills—collaborating in teams, communicating their ideas, and confidently presenting projects to their peers. These experiences strengthen not only their technical abilities but also their leadership and self-confidence.

We celebrate their accomplishments and look forward to seeing the impact they will make in their communities and beyond.
