ROC/CTEC is all about exposing young students to various occupations and helping them discern a meaningful career. Oftentimes our students can immediately take entry-level employment in their field of choice, but other times the career trek requires additional education, training, or even attaining a certain age.

This year, for the very first time, ROC will host the SkillsUSA California Region 2 Conference. On February 22, 2020, 1600 students from Central California will attend the conference, showcasing their skills in over 100 different contests. To pull this off we will need over 200 community volunteers!

Combining raw talent and sheer ambition, a senior at the Regional Occupational Center (ROC/CTEC) from Independence High is making a name for himself in the industry he loves.

The newly inaugurated Construction Trades program at ROC is off to an amazing start, so it is not surprising that the local news wanted to speak to instructor Chad Wright and his students. Good stuff happening at ROC/CTEC!
