What is ROP?

Regional Occupational Program (ROP) is a public education service that provides practical, hands-on career preparation, career guidance and job placement assistance. The ROP is designed to provide students with the technical skills required for particular jobs. Community based workplace learning in local business and industry is offered in many classes. Every course offers a unit on employment seeking skills that includes the job application, resume, and interview preparation. ROP courses are open to all high school juniors, seniors, persons 16 years of age or older, and to adults


Why take ROP?

Experience is the best teacher. ROP can help you get the experience needed to get a job of your choice, or help you update your existing skills, or train in a new field. ROP prepares students to obtain jobs to support the ever-increasing costs of college and promotes further advanced education in particular career areas. ROP courses offer 5-10 units per semester and may be used as elective units for graduation.
