The mission of UCLAxCareerBridge is to provide adults from diverse communities access to professional training to prepare for careers in fields of high growth and high need, such as substance use disorder counseling, data science, and early childhood education. Our goal is to extend certificate program access to more diverse populations by removing financial barriers.
Through UCLAxCareerBridge, we will support more than 300 students over five years through grant funds provided by the State of California. Each certificate covers a specialized field and provides the educational background needed to attain employment. The following three certificates offered by UCLA Extension prepare students for jobs in these fields:
- Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counseling Certificate
- Data Science certificate
- Early Childhood Education – Associate Teacher Certificate (Ofrecido en español)
