For 72 years, LARC has been proud to stand alongside the School District of Lee County in a partnership rooted in opportunity, inclusion, and community. We are incredibly grateful to have been invited to participate in this year’s Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association Southwest Florida Chapter Luncheon.
We were so proud to see our culinary students step into this opportunity dressed professionally in their chef jackets, checkered pants, hats, and aprons, showcasing their talent, confidence, and professionalism.
It was an amazing experience to be included and stand alongside the talented culinary programs within Lee County Schools, celebrating the future of hospitality together.
Our new Culinary Arts Training Program is creating a direct pathway into the food service and hospitality industry for individuals with disabilities, an enthusiastic, dependable, and often overlooked workforce ready to shine. In just 16 weeks, participants build career skills, earn their ServSafe certification, and prepare for meaningful employment.
Thank you to everyone who made this event such a success and for believing in a more inclusive workforce future!
