Google Doc: Your personal program interests.
Coming Soon! Live application will open soon. In these crazy COVID times, our student exploration process looks a bit different than it has in the past. While we would typically welcome students and families onto our campus for tours, we are unable to do that at this time. We will be sharing our program details, staff greetings, and student stories in a multitude of ways so that you can learn more about WCCC has to offer! | Chef Kate Cole Let me introduce myself! My name is Chef Kate Cole. I started teaching Culinary Technology at the Warren County Career Center in 1997. I graduated high school in northern Illinois and went to college in Chicago. While attending the University of Illinois, I supported myself by working in restaurants. I read an article in a magazine about an essay contest. The prize was a full scholarship to the prestigious Culinary Institute of America. I penned an essay and won! After graduating from the CIA, I returned to Cincinnati and worked in the industry. I found I had a passion for teaching when I took a temporary position as a substitute culinary teacher here at WCCC. Several years late, an opportunity to teach full-time became available. I applied and was hired! I love what I do! You should too.

After Exploration is Step Two: Application.
We will use a rubric to score your transcript based on three things: credits earned, unexcused absences, and your GPA. There is no minimum GPA; you will be scored against other program applicants. Students with the highest scores get placed first. See your guidance counselor to assist your with these next steps.
