Responsibilities of the ROP Instructors:
Responsibilities of the ROP Classroom Instructors are to: Prepare an Individualized Training Plan in consultation with the work site business or industry supervisor. Visit the work site at least once every three weeks (for CC non-paid learning experience). Visit the work site at least once every four weeks (for CVE paid learning experience). In addition, the instructor monitors to ensure interns are performing appropriate tasks and are moved to new ones when they become proficient.

What are the Legal Issues?
When a company agrees to become an internship site, it signs a Training Agreement with the East San Gabriel Valley Regional Occupational Program.

ESGVROP’s insurance specifications include: Intern worker’s compensation in the event of an injury on the job if they are enrolled in CC. No position or worker in the business will be displaced as a result of CC interns training at the site.
Employer’s Workers Compensation Insurance covers: CVE interns who are employees of the company.

The Training Agreement also contains mutual “hold harmless” clauses that indemnify both the business and ESGVROP from legal complaints except in the case of willful negligence. The Business Office as well as other business attorneys over the years reviewed and approved the Training Agreement.

What is in it for business?
By allowing students to train at your business, you help develop a better trained workforce and have the opportunity to observe students while they train on the job. Such recordings often lead to hiring well trained employees.
