ROP - Regional Occupational Program


Courses sponsored by the Regional Occupational Program (ROP) add a new dimension to learning –“hands-on” in addition to “eyes-on”, assist students with making informed choices about college majors, help build personal portfolios for college and scholarship applications; students learn real world skills; and in some classes, participate in an internship.
