'li RO P e benefits Approximately 120 Tokay juniors or seniors had the chance to experience on- the-job Training trough the Regional Occupationai Pro- gram. The students devoted two class periods per day to attend various job sites or to learn about their careers through simulated situations at the Career Center in Lodi. According to Ira Barofsky, ROP vice principal, the ob- jective of the program was to prepare high school stu- dents for aduit job entry levels. He said that most students wanted to go to a two or four year college, but couldnt afford it. They'il use their job skills to work their-way through college, stated Mr. Barofsky. They're thinking ahead. g 1 For those students who decided not to go to college, they used their traininggex- perience to go 'straight' l to work and help support themselves and their famil- aso Q careers ies, noted Mr. Barofsky. l'lI use my skills from ROP to get started as a firefighter, stated senior Leroy Combs, who was en- rolled irt Fire Science. ln the future, my experience will help support my fami' ly. An interesting fact of the Career Center noted Mr. Barofsky was that it was the only place in Lodi to certify X-ray technicians. Other popular training programs were offered in banking or finance, comput- er-based office manage- ment, and automobile serv- cies. s We purchased 522,500 worth of computer -equip- ment which analyzes auto- mobile problemsfi stated Mr. Barofsky. lfThe students can work with this and learn how to fix they newer cars which operate on computer' basedenginesf' it by Troy Movius s Photos by Sieve Chef-lcv I ,- V .r - 4 . tsi'fsii 1.-4 .::k,,s.t E K
