Testimonial
"My time at LRTC changed my life. As a teenager it's hard to find your place or purpose and cooking gave me that. It became my constant in my life. It was the first thing where I gave to it and it gave back to me. The continuing support of the staff and Chef Caron I can't express my gratitude enough. LRTC Culinary Arts program has been and continues to an educational and supportive program for young adults."
