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 which could not be provided for adequately, efficiently and economically by a single school or district. High School freshmen students through adults are served. High school students who take ROCP Courses to supplement their curriculum receive high school credit.

Our Mission Statement

The mission of the Valley Regional Occupational Program is to promote, support, and provide exemplary career technical education, career development, and workforce preparation that contribute to student academic and career success as well as to the economic development of our region and California.
