Career Technical Education is an important component of a student’s total education. Tri-Cities Regional Occupational Program (TCROP) is a dynamic school-to-career delivery system for high school students and adults. A key to the success of these programs is the cooperation and support provided by the business and industrial community. Today, more than ever, it is critical that Advisory Committees be involved in planning programs and evaluating the successes of our efforts. Committee members assist in maintaining relevant up-to-date training programs also meet accountability requirements set by the California Department of Education.
