Regional Occupational Programs (ROP) provide engaging learning opportunities for high school students eager to acquire career training and technical skills essential for business and industry employment.
Through our ROP programs, students will learn how core school subjects like math, science and writing are used in real-life. With industry-trained teachers, California Department of Education approved curricula, and high-tech equipment, ROP provides a challenging, rigorous learning environment in preparation for both college and career. Students will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on training in your chosen program and gain real world experience through job shadows and internships.
ROP is a regional program. Juniors and seniors, as well as sophomores 16 years and over, can take classes offered at sites other than their home schools. Students must provide their own transportation to/ from their off-site ROP classes. Logistics for ROP classes (number of periods per day, class length, credits earned) vary by class.
How do I enroll in ROP?
Students select ROP classes during the LHS course registration window. All available ROP classes can be chosen using this process. Following the high school registration period, students may be contacted by their home school College & Career Specialist to complete an additional ROP registration process, if required.
Most ROP classes can only be taken during junior and senior year. Both Medical Occupations and Nursing Careers have mandatory parent/student orientations that happen in the spring prior to the year the student plans to take the class. There is also an application process for these two classes.
ROP offers a variety of classes within these career pathways:
Arts, Media & Entertainment
Building Trades and Construction
Education, Child Development & Family Services
Energy, Environment, & Utilities
Engineering & Architecture
Health Science & Medical Technology
Information & Communication Technologies
Manufacturing & Product Development
Marketing, Sales & Services
