Southern California ROC

Southern California ROC (Regional Occupational Center) is an active public vocational and technical education district located at 2300 Crenshaw Blvd. in Torrance, California. Nestled in a midsize city setting within the greater Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metropolitan area, this non-charter district operates a single dedicated facility tailored to career and technical training. Specially designed for high school students in grades 10 through 12, the center provides specialized, hands-on instruction to prepare upper-level high schoolers for immediate workforce entry, industry certifications, and higher education career pathways.

Functioning as a regional educational facility, Southern California ROC utilizes a collaborative organizational model where students participate in specialized technical programs while remaining anchored at their primary home high schools. As a result, standard federal educational datasets report zero direct full-time student enrollments or dedicated staff FTEs, as these metrics are traditionally captured through the participating sending school districts. For researchers analyzing regional career-technical delivery systems, as well as parents and students interested in expanding their high school curriculum with real-world skills, further information on course offerings and enrollment can be found at www.scroc.com or by contacting the center at (310) 224-4289.
