3. To allocate ROP resources to reflect the changing employment needs of the communities.
4. To align the ROP courses with the quality standards of the California State Department of Education.
5. To establish business/industry and education partnerships to provide job-training opportunities that are responsive to labor market needs.
6. To provide ROP students with career guidance to assist them in achieving their goals.
7. To provide information about the ROP program which demonstrates to students the benefits of vocational training or retraining.
