ROP

The Regional Occupational Program (ROP), also known as Career Technical Education (CTE), offers tuition-free career preparation training in more than 100 occupations throughout the regions that Visions serves. Programs include high demand training such as automotive, construction, office computer skills, information technology training (database design, Web authoring, network administration, and computer repair), health occupations (nurse assistant, dental assistant, EMT, etc.), retail sales, careers with children and other occupational areas.

Most of the training is offered on a high school campus and has an “on-the-job” internship at an employer job site in addition to the classroom training.

Now is the time for next year’s 11th and 12th grade students to review the different ROP options that are offered at campuses near them.  To review those options prepared by Visions’ counselors, please visit the link HERE. Considerations for students who participate in the ROP program should include:

• Student is teacher recommended;
• Student is demonstrating good attendance;
• Transportation can be arranged-Visions can assist with bus passes to attend ROP;
• Student demonstrates at least average grades; and in particular,
• Student meets the grade level for the ROP course–some  are only available to 12th grade students, for example, medical and dental ROP courses through San Juan Unified.
