1.
WHAT IS ROP?
The Regional
Occupational Program (ROP) is a part of the California public school
system. El Dorado Union High School
District's Regional Occupational Program is a key component of the
Career Technical Education program providing course concentrations
and advanced training through its "capstone" courses.
The primary mission of the El Dorado Section of CSROP is to
serve high school students, and to the extent allowed by law, offer
its programs to adults, with the following vision:
 |
Prepare students for high-skill, high-demand, and high-wage
careers needed in the competitive, rapidly changing 21st
Century global economy
|
|
|
Provide instructors who have worked in the industry and
who bring relevance, rigor, and real-world applications to the
classroom
|
|
|
Provide a dynamic and seamless learning experience resulting
in mastery of career technical and academic knowledge
and skills necessary to become productive contributing
members of society
|
|
|
Prepare a
diverse population for further education,
employment and occupational changes.
|
|
|
Provide training or
retraining to learn new skills or adapt to new technology. |
2. WHO CAN TAKE ROP?
Anyone 16 years of age or older is eligible to
participate in CSROP programs. However, enrollment is limited,
and first priority is given to high school seniors, second priority
to high school juniors, and third priority to adults. High
school students enroll through their school counselor. Adult
students should contact the ROP office.
3. WHO TEACHES
CSROP?
CSROP instructors hold a Designated Subject Credential issued by the
California State Department of Education. A
CSROP instructor must
have worked in the related occupational field for at least 5 years.
4. ADVISORY COMMITTEES
Each
program has an advisory committee made up of representatives from
regional businesses, colleges/trade schools, and local
professionals/practitioners.
5. TRAINING AND COMMUNITY JOB
SITES
All ROP
students will receive training in either an ROP classroom lab
setting and/or at an actual community job-site. Both sites provide
the student with hands-on job training.
There are
two types of Community agreements:
-
Community
Classroom (CC) – under this agreement the student is not paid
while training.
-
Cooperative Vocational Education (CVE) – under this agreement
the student is paid while training.
ROP
programs are located on high school campuses, college campuses and
in business. These locations are
considered host sites and their rules and regulations must be
followed by all ROP students.
5. BUSINESS PARTNERSHIPS
Partnership is an educational tool that is integral to the success
of ROP. Business partners can enhance ROP courses in a variety of
ways including donations of time, expertise, equipment and monetary
contributions. Business involvement brings real world knowledge and
skills into the classroom and exposes students to experiences and
insights they would not otherwise receive. In return, business
partners help shape the future of their industry by contributing to
the education and skill sets of students who one day will become
members of the workforce.
