The History of ROP
Regional Occupational Centers and Regional Occupational Programs, which operate throughout the state of California as part of the Department of Education, were formed in the 1960’s to provide high quality career technical education to a large number of the population that cannot be provided for adequately, efficiently and economically by a single school or district. Students age 16 through adult are served. High school students who take ROCP Courses to supplement their curriculum receive high school credits.
