The Regional Occupational
Program (ROP) is a perfect way for students to explore, discover, or
confirm their career interests. ROP benefits all students by
providing early exposure, preparation and experimentation in a
variety of career pathways. We offer elective courses that may
include (unpaid) internships.
The program is available to high
school seniors, juniors, 16 year-olds, and adults. High school
students earn grades and credits towards graduation:
-
Gain experience required for immediate employment
-
Participate in courses that offer internships
-
Earn certificates of completion
-
Experience careers that may assist in choosing college majors and
enhance college admission applications
-
Adults may upgrade skills, change careers, or prepare for re-entry
into the workforce
Courses are offered in five
career pathways (Arts and Communication, Business and Marketing,
Health Sciences, Public Services, Science and Technology) which
provide a range of subjects to match a diverse student population.
Classes are held in businesses
and in high schools located within the five participating
districts. These classes are held during school hours, after
school, and evenings. Classes are generally one semester in length.
Courses are free to high school students; a $40 registration fee is
required of adults.
