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!

A six-student team from Bakersfield's Regional Occupational Center has built an app to help high school athletes get in front of college recruiters.

The online application window to apply for programs at ROC and CTEC will be open from November 1, 2019 through March 6, 2020. During this period all Kern High School District students who will be juniors or seniors next year can complete an application on the ROC website.

Perhaps Mark Twain’s famous quip that “everyone talks about the weather but no one does anything about it” has a modern parallel for today’s increasingly casual business world. It seems everyone talks about the lack of formality that millennials and their successors, iGens, have, especially when it comes to dressing for work, but no one actually does anything about it.
