The Lenoir Community College Culinary Arts may just be the spice you need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">The LCC Culinary Arts Program is known for providing students with the skills and experience necessary to dive right into a professional kitchen after graduation. \u201cWe build students from the ground up,\u201d says program chair Chef Jeff Yourdon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">Yourdon is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and is a certified executive chef with the American Culinary Federation. He teaches students the skills necessary for them to become a trained culinary professional in a variety of food service settings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">Students enrolled in the program learn basic knife techniques, team building, sanitation and safety, menu building, as well as the human resources side of the food industry. Students learn through hands-on training in a state-of-the-art facility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">The one thing that students in this program have in common is their love of cooking. \u201cStudents demonstrate their culinary skills by involving themselves in community events such as Relay For Life. \u201cBeing involved in the community is important. Our students have prepared full meals at Thanksgiving and distributed them to families in need. We have participated in food demonstrations at the local Farmers Market to teach others how to make healthy and nutritious meals. These are just some of the ways students get hands-on opportunities to practice their skills.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">Graduates can transfer to East Carolina University to receive their bachelor degree in Hospitality Management or to Johnson &amp; Wales University to complete their bachelor degree in Culinary Arts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">The LCC Culinary Arts Program is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the American Culinary Federation Foundation, one of eight programs to receive this honor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">\u201cOur surrounding area is rapidly growing with new restaurants and food trucks which need graduates of our program,\u201d Chef Yourdon said, \u201cWe currently have a 95 percent job placement within 30 days of graduation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">The program offers classes during the day and in the evening, as well as online. Students are eligible to earn a certificate, diploma, and a degree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">North Carolina now requires that every food establishment must have a ServSafe certified employee on duty at all times while food is being prepared or served. The Culinary Arts Program offers this certification in a 16-week class that will provide the student with the certification after the completion of the exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">For more information, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lenoircc.edu\/acaddiv\/acada55150\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans Bold';\">LCC Culinary<\/span>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mallory Kennedy Looking to add a little spice to your education?
