  The culinary
program at WKCTC has made remarkable headway in the last
two years under the direction of Chef Brett McCarthy along
with his colleague and Chef Vicki Koehler.
After a complete renovation of the dining room, kitchen
and classrooms, the program entered into a new era of
culinary training. We now can compete with the big boys
and provide our students with the training that will make
them competitive in the market today.
A stellar staff is needed for a good program and in August
of 2007, we will once again make good on that promise
and expand our teaching staff to include industry professional
Brian Hershey, Executive Food and Beverage Director for
the Paducah Country Club who will teach part-time for
our program. Returning to our program in the fall will
also be Valerie Jones who will be teaching human relations
and nutrition. Ms. Jones is a stellar Professor with a
Masters in Home Economics and has taught for the college
for over seventeen years.

Fall 2007: Catering students pose for the annual scholarship fundraiser, The Gala. The WKCTC culinary program has catered this event for three years running.

Finally, we have added to the program a TV show appropriately
named “Cooking at the College”. With the assistance
of the TV Department for WKCTC, this program reaches 24,000
households and also provides a venue for students to hone
their skills as participants in the show.
But no program would be complete without our students. They
are what make us truly great. So, if you like to cook and
you and see yourself as professional in this field, then
“I want to cook with you!”
