Our Approach
CRY-ROP provides quality, hands-on career training programs in more than 40 high-demand career fields to assist high school students and adults in acquiring marketable job skills. Course content is validated by local business advisory committees, reflecting current industry standards, and approved by the ROP's Governing Board. CRY-ROP works in collaboration with K12 school districts, adult education, community colleges, and workforce development. This collective approach ensures coordinated integration of academic and career preparation competencies connected to sequences, paths and postsecondary options leading to viable jobs. Secondary students can explore career options and apply academic skills to practical problems, enabling them to prepare for workplace or postsecondary training transition. Adults seeking skill upgrade, entering the workforce, or changing careers also benefit from CRY-ROP programs. Career guidance and special services for individuals with disabilities are support structures offered to ensure program success.
