The Marin Regional Occupational Program (ROP) is an integral part of Marin County’s public education system.
The ROP provides career and technical training to enable students to succeed in a complex, rapidly changing, global economy.
The ROP serves high school students and adults with programs ranging from automotive repair to video production.
The ROP instructors are experienced teachers, having a minimum of five years’ experience in the field in which they teach. State-of-the-industry equipment is used in the ROP programs. Courses focus on real world applications of skills and are designed in collaboration with the business community to ensure that students are prepared for local employment opportunities. Day and evening classes are available.
The ROP is free for high school students; adult students are charged a nominal fee.
High school students receive high school credit for their ROP course work. Some ROP classes are approved for advanced placement credit at College of Marin.
