The Coastline Regional Occupational Program prepares students to become gainfully employed in many different career areas. ROP classes can help you get the experience you need to obtain your first job, update your existing skills, and prepare you to qualify for a better job. Many courses include hands-on internships in business and industry. ROP can also be helpful in exploring college majors and career possibilities.
Important Facts About ROP
  • Priority is given to high school seniors, juniors, and then sophomores, but adults are eligible to take some ROP career courses too.
  • Grades and credits are given and applied toward high school graduation upon successful completion of an ROP course.
  • Most ROP classes are one semester in length and meet from one to five days a week and from one to four hours per day.
  • ROP courses are taught at businesses and high schools throughout the Orange County area. Students are responsible for getting to and from class and their internship site, but free OCTA bus passes are available to high school students.
  • There is no tuition for high school students; some courses may require a fee or deposit for books, supplies, or uniforms. There is a $40 registration fee per course for adults.
