Southern California Regional Occupational Center (SoCal ROC) is a regional Career Technical Education (CTE) institution serving high school and adult learners across the South Bay and greater Los Angeles region. Founded in 1967, SoCal ROC has a long-standing history of preparing students with the technical skills, academic knowledge, and professional competencies needed to succeed in college, careers, and an evolving workforce.

A Regional Occupational Center (ROC) is a specialized public education entity designed to provide career-focused instruction that complements traditional school programs. ROCs operate in partnership with multiple school districts, allowing students to access advanced technical training, industry-standard equipment, and specialized instructors that individual districts may not be able to offer independently. This regional model expands opportunity, promotes efficiency, and aligns education with career.

Programs span high-demand industry sectors and emphasize hands-on learning, real-world application, and career readiness. Students have opportunities to earn industry certifications, develop technical and employability skills, and explore clear pathways to post-secondary education, apprenticeships, military service, and the workforce.
